What Is An Escrow Account?

Opening a mortgage account at Health Care Credit Union


 
 

Escrow accounts help you temporarily set aside money whether you’re a homeowner or in the process of buying a home.

How do I set up an escrow account?

Lenders may require you to set up escrow accounts with neutral third parties (we’ll call them middle men) to make sure there is always money to cover the following annual mortgage costs:

  • Homeowner’s insurance

  • Mortgage Insurance

  • Property taxes
