The one thing I've been hoping Stripe eventually rolls out is escrow; hopefully this is a step towards that?

Escrow has a precise legal definition—and while we don’t support straight-up “escrow,” Stripe recently added support to hold funds for up to 3 months. You can use Stripe Connect to manually control (in this case, delay) payout timing: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/manual-payouts.
Why does the US support holding funds for up to 2 years, while everywhere else (like Brazil) only 90 days?
This is usually governed by country specific financial laws.
