An escrow account is a temporary account held by a third party - an escrow agent - during the process of a purchase transaction between two parties. As this is a temporary account, it will only operate until the conditions agreed between the two parties - usually a buyer and a seller - are met so that the transaction can be completed.
A trust account can be set up to hold funds, stocks, money or other assets. While the most common use of escrow accounts is real estate transactions, they can have various other purposes. For example, they can be used during a mortgage transaction between the lender and the borrower. Typically, a lender will require the borrower to make regular deposits into the escrow account. The funds deposited are then used to pay an insurance policy or property tax.
Escrow accounts are also becoming increasingly popular in the business world. The opening of such an account in business transactions can replace a letter of credit. In this case, the bank or other trustee receives money from the buyer and notifies the other party that the payment has been made. The seller company can now rest assured that it will receive the money as soon as it fulfills its legal obligations and therefore sends the goods to the buyer. When the buyer company receives the goods and is satisfied with the quality of the products, it sends a confirmation to the bank with instructions to release the funds.
Another use of a trust account for companies is to transfer company shares to employees as part of their compensation package. In this way, employees become shareholders in the company, but have limited use or sale of the shares during the escrow period. The reason for such a policy is to protect the market price of the company's stock and to discourage employees from leaving the company, at least until the escrow period has expired.
Opening an escrow account can remove most of the uncertainties associated with the safe and honest delivery of funds or other assets under a purchase agreement. For example, if a buyer wishes to view the property he or she is interested in or perform other due diligence, an escrow account can be used to confirm that the buyer has sufficient funds to actually complete the transaction. If the buyer is satisfied with the property, he instructs the third party to release the escrow account. This way the buyer can be sure that the money is safe until he or she is ready to close the deal and the seller can be sure that the buyer has sufficient funds and is genuinely interested in the property.
Benefits of using an escrow account An escrow account is beneficial to both parties to the transaction. As discussed above, the involvement of a third party to temporarily hold the money while some aspects of the agreement remain unsatisfied can facilitate the real estate or business transaction, particularly when one or both parties lack confidence in the other.
Still, trusting the trustee is crucial for both the buyer and seller as he or she is the only one with access to the funds during a given period of time. Therefore, it is very important to choose a trustworthy broker with a good reputation.

EF is usually measured as 1 minus the Herfindahl concentration index of ethnolinguistic group shares, which reproduces the probability that two randomly drawn individuals from the population belong to different groups. The theoretical maximum of EF of 1 means that each person belongs to a different group. Read below for statistics of Mozambique on median age and gender distribution at various ages.

Cryptocurrency is defined as the money of the future or a 21st-century unicorn as some may joke. It has become a global phenomenon while being misunderstood by majority of financial institutions, governments and companies which are still working according to old standards. However, many of people working there have heard about virtual currencies such as Bitcoin which confused the society with its innovative approach to handling money flow in a form of digital cash.
The most popular cryptocurrencies of today The most popular cryptocurrencies nowadays are: Bitcoin (market cap $11, 382, 240, 050), Ethereum (market cap $904,848,975), Ripple (market cap $290,446,848), Litecoin (market cap $184,904,214), Monero (market cap $83,466,495), Ethereum Classic (market cap $80, 817, 441), Dash (market cap $66, 519, 213), Augur (market cap $52, 038, 360), NEM (market cap $37, 322, 550), Waves (market cap $35, 727, 500).
Bitcoin Is the first such currency which serves as a digital gold standard in the whole industry. Its price has increased from 0 to more than $650, while their transaction volume reached more than 200 thousand daily transactions.
Litecoin While Bitcoin is referred to as a digital gold, this cryptocurrency is referred to as digital silver. It has an updated algorithm, is even faster and has a larger amount of token than the Bitcoin. However, it is still called „a smaller brother of of bitcoin”.
Ethereum Is very flexible family of cryptocurrencies as it validates a set of accounts, balances and states as well being able to process complex programs and contracts.
Monero This cryptocurrency raised a lot of awareness when its popularity peaked in Summer 2016. It happened for the reason of darknetmarkets deciding not to accept it as a currency. The consequences were its price increase and a decrease of its actual usage.
Ripple Has a bigger tendency to process IOUs than to be a cryptocurrency, it doesn’t serve as a medium to store and exchange value while having a XRP as a store of value. It is more like a token to protect the network about spam. However, such financial institutions as banks can use them and are using today as well on a daily basis.
Cryptocurrencies’ working mechanism Professional people refer cryptocurrencies as some sort of limited entries in a database no one can change without fulfilling specific conditions. In addition, it is a definition of any currency as well. This is true due to the structure of a cryptocurrency. For example Bitcoin consists of a network of peers each of them having a record of the history of all transactions and the balance of every account. A transaction can be defined as a simple file which states that someone is transferring a certain amount of bitcoins to another person and seals the deal by signing the file with his or her private key. After signing the file, the transaction made is broadcasted in the network and sent from one peer to another.
The whole mechanism looks like: someone requests a transaction – it is then broadcasted to P2P network consisting of computers (nodes) – then validation comes into play as the user’s status must be validated by using known algorithms – after the verification the transaction is combined with other transactions in order to create a new block of data – it is then added to the existing block chain – and the transaction is complete.
So, basically cryptocurrencies working mechanism or better to say a technology can be called a p2p-technology where cryptocurrency itself becomes a medium of exchange which is created and stored electronically in the block chain by using some encryption techniques for controlling the creation of monetary units and verifying the transfer of funds. In general, cryptocurrency is digital money which was created from code which economy is monitored by a peer-to-peer internet protocol which has an encoded or encrypted string of data.
The increasing popularity of cryptocurrencies Nowadays cryptocurrencies are increasing in popularity mostly due to their revolutionary properties which make them similar to digital gold, while being also secure from political influence. They are pretty fast and comfortable means of monetary transactions. Cryptocurrencies can also serve as means of payment for black markets as they are anonymous. They are creating a dynamic market of investors as they daily trade volume exceeds that of major European stock exchanges. Every day more new cryptocurrencies are emerging and the old ones disappearing after a few months survival marathon at the cryptocurrency market.
Cryptocurrencies as an investment object Can be a good investment object because of such transactional properties as: being irreversible (after a confirmation, the transaction being made can’t be reversed), pseudonymous (transactions as well as accounts are not connected to real-world identities), fast and global (transactions are confirmed in a couple of minutes), secure (as they are locked in a public key cryptography system), permissionless (all is needed for their usage is a software which can be downloaded). Some say that later they will overtake the Western Union as a more preferable remittance tool.
