Online Banks that Offer Escrow Accounts?

Hi everyone,

Looking for a bank that will allow me to open an escrow account for my tenant’s security deposit entirely online.

Does anyone have any recommendations for this?

Thanks in advance!

    My understanding is a business deposit account would suffice. It does not have to be an insured escrow account like a title company would have. That said, IANAL.

    In PA keep in mind tenants are not entitled to any interest until after 24 months residency. Even with that, I am not sure if you did separate 1 year leases versus extending the original if that would apply.
