Description

This table store transfers initiated just like any other transfer that requires the approval of a third party. Unlike a normal transfer, an escrow transfer specifies some additional fields.

An escrow payment facilitates trade among two or more parties with the potential for dispute resolution. When a user makes a payment via escrow the escrow agent receives a fee regardless of whether or not a dispute was raised.
