Depositing funds into an escrow account Note: You can't deposit funds into a closed account. Create an escrow account, or open an existing account in the Escrow InfoViewer. If you created a new escrow account, click Deposit Funds after you've saved the account. If you opened an existing account, select the Maintenance tab and click Deposit Funds under Transactions. Select the method of payment from the Payment Method list. The fields change depending on the payment method you select. Specify the amount of the payment in the Payment Amount field. The deposit amount must not cause the account to rise above its maximum balance. Specify the information in the remaining fields according to the type of payment. Click Save.
