SAN FRANCISCO: January 2018 – Escrow.com, the world’s largest online escrow payments business powers into the new year after hitting a tremendous number of milestones in 2017.
Global Support & Operations
To continuously support its fast-growing user base, Escrow.com continues to hire the world’s best talent and has grown from just 12 employees to now over 50 in five offices around the world: San Francisco, Vancouver, Buenos Aires, Manila and Sydney. With an average response time of less than 20 seconds, our multilingual customer support runs seven days a week from 5am to 11pm PST, making transactions quick and efficient. In addition, we now have a team of dedicated account managers that have been assigned to key accounts to ensure the highest level of service is provided.Escrow.com API Launch
Our engineering team has been busy taking the Escrow.com technology stack to the next level in Amazon AWS, and last year completely rebuilt the trust accounting system, which allowed the launch of the Escrow.com API in late October. Now websites, marketplaces, classifieds sites, shopping carts, and mobile apps can have the same protection of Escrow.com built directly in. Other benefits of the API include no minimum fee. For more information see www.escrow.com/api.WooCommerce plugin for WordPress
Hot on the heels of the API launch, we released a plugin for the top eCommerce platform on WordPress, WooCommerce. Over two million online stores worldwide can now enjoy the safety and security benefits of Escrow.com. Visit www.escrow.com/plugins/woocommerce for more details.Compliance and Licensing
