LOS ANGELES, March 16, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- FinTech Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global FinTech market, today announced that Earnnest, the largest digital earnest money service in the U.S., has been selected as winner of the "Best Consumer Payments Company" award in the fifth annual FinTech Breakthrough Awards program.
Earnnest specializes in safe and secure digital escrow payments, allowing for a fully digital transfer of funds in real estate transactions. Built by real estate agents, escrow attorneys and technology veterans, Earnnest is uniquely positioned to facilitate fast and secure real estate transactions.
The Earnnest platform avoids the time-consuming and inconvenient process of using checks and the lack of security surrounding wire transfers in escrow payments. Earnnest uses the highly secure ACH network to safely transfer earnest money, also indemnifying escrow holders and eliminating any possibility of ACH pullback.
"It's no secret that real estate transactions can be time-consuming and insecure and Earnest is delivering a breakthrough platform to deliver a beautifully simple process and stellar user experience," said James Johnson, Managing Director, FinTech Breakthrough. "In just a few years, Earnnest has grown to become the largest digital earnest money service in the U.S., making an impact not only on the real estate industry but also within the larger FinTech market. Congratulations to Earnnest for winning our 'Best Consumer Payments Company' in the 2021 FinTech Breakthrough Awards program."
