UPI Escrow Account

Definition

A UPI Escrow Account is a temporary account used to hold funds securely during a transaction. It ensures both the sender and receiver are protected until payment confirmation.

How It Works

When you pay through certain UPI services, the amount first moves to an escrow account. Once the receiver confirms the transaction, the amount is released.

Benefit

It minimizes the risk of payment disputes or fraud by holding the money safely until verification.
