About Us
The Escrow Group is part of the Oakwood Holdings family. We share the same passion for escrow as our sister company Oakwood Escrow, the premier provider of escrow services in San Diego County. We are a Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) licensed Independent Escrow company.
The Escrow Group was founded with one goal in mind, to be the leading provider of escrow services in Southern California. With a collective 100+ years of escrow company management and 25+ years of escrow closing experience, our team has seen it all.
At The Escrow Group we take security and protection seriously. It is our responsibility to actively protect the hard-earned money that our client’s entrusted us with and keep their Non-Public Personal Information secure.
Security
We are licensed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) and are under some of the most stringent consumer protections in the industry. Unlike broker-owned escrow companies or ones owned by Title companies, we adhere to a strict set of standards to protect our client’s funds.
The Escrow Group takes security a step further by using encrypted email, providing fraud prevention training to our employees, and performing quarterly penetration tests on our systems. Penetration testing, also called pen testing or ethical hacking, is the practice of testing a computer system, network or web application to find security vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit. We do this to demonstrate to our lender partners, agent clients and the CONSUMERS we serve that The Escrow Group takes security and protection seriously.
The Escrow Group believes that by doing all of this it helps to provide the assurance the banks need in their compliance and regulation standards. The last thing you want is to find out at funding that your escrow company is not approved by the lender or that your identity and funds have been compromised.
