We’re transforming real estate transactions forever.

Our mission at DepositLink is to make real estate payments simple, secure, and efficient through innovative technology and best-in-class service.

Our Latest News

It all started with solving a huge problem.

Nothing wastes more time in real estate than managing paper checks and bank wires.

Jay Rooney, Brian Shroyer, and Mark Gibbons representing DepositLink at a business convention
During his 25+ years as an agent, broker, and owner, Jay Rooney experienced first hand the inefficiencies and liabilities caused by paper checks and risky bank wires. And he wasn’t alone.

Real estate agents and bookkeepers all over the country wasted valuable time every day collecting and processing paper checks, and wire fraud was on the rise.
Emerging technology had already started automating some steps of the real estate transaction, but escrow payments, deposits, and commissions were stuck with time-consuming checks and risky bank wires. Jay knew there had to be a better way.

Jay set out to build a secure money transfer platform, a simple user interface, and a more efficient process to manage payments for real estate companies and escrow holders.

So, he created DepositLink.
