Where real estate money belongs.

The Digital Clearing Platform for every hand that touches real estate capital. Lenders earn yield. Contractors get paid on time — guaranteed. Family offices replace the spreadsheet. Wells Fargo custodied. Zero fees, ever.

The state of real estate money

Real estate money is bleeding. Here's where.

Hundreds of billions of dollars sit dormant in escrow, construction reserves, IOLTAs, and qualified-intermediary accounts — exposed to fraud, commingling, and slow draws. PHOCIS Tech© was built to close every one of these gaps.

The Architecture

One platform. Built on infrastructure you already trust.

PHOCIS Tech© is not a startup neobank. It's a Digital Clearing Platform built on top of Wells Fargo Institutional Custody — the same architecture that supports trillions in institutional assets — paired with the industry's first AI State Compliance Engine™.

W

Wells Fargo Custody

Institutional-grade custody. Segregated. Sub-accounted. Held under the lender's own EIN — never commingled.

$

FDIC + SIPC

Federal insurance on every dollar. Plus $250,000 of audit coverage per lender — a protection layer no other platform provides.

%

Revenue Optionality

Held funds finally earn yield. Treasury-backed, payable monthly. Configure to your structure.

AI

50-State Compliance Engine™

The industry's first. Fully automated regulatory logic across all 50 states — refreshed daily, every law, every change.

Industries we serve

Five sectors. One platform. Each with a reason to be here.

Real estate money doesn't move through one set of hands. It moves through five. PHOCIS Tech© was designed for all of them — and the friction between them.

For Lenders

Stop letting your held funds earn 0%.

Construction reserves, rehab holdbacks, and controlled disbursements sit dead in legacy escrow. PHOCIS gives you lender-controlled clearing at Wells Fargo, paying yield monthly, with same-day disbursement against the schedule. Held under your EIN.

See the Lender platform
For Real Estate Attorneys

The fraud lives in the gap your IOLTA doesn't cover.

2026 wire fraud targets the space between your IOLTA and your lender clients' operating accounts. CTAPP tightened reconciliation on IOLTA — and left the held-funds gap wide open. Refer your lender clients to PHOCIS and become the firm that closed it.

For Contractors

On-time payment, guaranteed.

82% of contractors wait 30+ days for payment. Not with PHOCIS. The moment a lender or owner funds your job, your draw lives in a Wells Fargo sub-account under your EIN — visible to you in real time. Submit a draw with photo + lien waiver. Funds release same-day. We back it with an on-time payment SLA. No escrow company taking 0.5–2% off the top. No service fees.

For Custodians

The qualified escrow architecture the IRS always wanted.

1031 Qualified Intermediaries and fund administrators handle billions in client funds with no federal regulation and routine commingling. PHOCIS provides Wells Fargo segregated sub-accounting, FDIC + SIPC, and daily reconciliation — the structural answer to the Foster Garvey memo.

For Family Offices

Stop running a private bank out of a spreadsheet.

Family offices reconcile real estate cash — holdco operating funds, capex reserves, 1031 proceeds, security deposits, distribution accounts — across a patchwork of banks. PHOCIS gives you per-entity, per-property segregated sub-accounts at Wells Fargo, FDIC + SIPC, T-Bill yield on idle capital, and a daily audit trail your CIO can hand to the board. Direct-deploy into private credit allocations with on-chain settlement when you're ready.

The PHOCIS On-Time Promise

If the draw is approved, the contractor gets paid that day. Period.

82% of contractors wait 30+ days for payment under legacy escrow. Under PHOCIS, the funds are already sub-accounted to the job the moment the lender or owner funds it. Once a draw clears compliance and lien-waiver review, payment is released same-day — or we make it right.

Activate the Guarantee Available with the Tier 3 — Guaranteed Contractor Pay plan. Standard underwriting and draw-approval rules apply.

Why PHOCIS is necessary

Four reasons the industry can't keep doing this the old way.

PHOCIS exists because legacy real estate banking has four structural failures that compound every closing, every draw, every exchange. Solving any one would matter. We solve all four.

01

Capital is leaking

$280B lost to slow construction payments in 2024. Lenders earn 0% on held funds. Hundreds of billions in real estate escrow sit dormant across the U.S. at any moment.

PHOCIS pays yield monthly and accelerates disbursement to same-day.
02

Fraud targets the gap

2026 wire fraud no longer attacks the IOLTA — it attacks the wire instructions mid-thread between the lawyer and the lender's operating account. Funds in non-custodied accounts are the soft target.

PHOCIS funds live in Wells Fargo custody. Wire instructions never exposed to email interception.
03

Regulators tighten unevenly

California CTAPP Rule 2.5 tightened IOLTA reconciliation but left held-funds untouched. 1031 QIs remain federally unregulated. State rules drift apart.

Our 50-State Compliance Engine™ refreshes daily. One platform. One source of truth.
04

Insurance is pulling back

E&O and crime carriers increasingly exclude losses where funds sat in non-custodied operating accounts. Coverage now requires regulated custody — Wells Fargo, BNY, or equivalent.

PHOCIS gives you Wells Fargo custody by default — and adds $250K of audit coverage per lender on top.

Built by a U.S. Marine

We didn't set out to improve the system. We set out to replace it.

PHOCIS Tech© — built in the trenches of private lending, not a boardroom

PHOCIS was founded by financial engineers, compliance experts, and escrow-industry veterans — led by a United States Marine who knows that discipline, speed, and integrity aren't values you list on a website. They're the only way forward.

Semper Fi

Technology should create profit and restore purpose.

Every PHOCIS account opened helps fund Tributary Charity Foundation — an organization helping veterans rebuild through leadership, community, and organic opportunity.

We don't just talk about impact. We built the rails to fund it.

Tributary Charity Foundation — Veteran-focused initiatives funded by every PHOCIS clearing account.
Lender Stories

Trusted by direct & private lenders. And growing.

Real experiences from lenders who transformed their post-close capital strategy. More on the way.

"PHOCIS completely changed our post-close capital strategy. We're generating consistent returns on funds that used to sit idle, with zero impact on our lending operations. The compliance automation alone is worth its weight in gold."

James Morrison
CEO, Apex Capital Partners

"As a direct lender, control is everything. PHOCIS gives us that control while optimizing capital we never thought could work for us. Wells Fargo custody and FDIC protection give us complete peace of mind."

Sarah Kim
CFO, Ironclad Lending Group

"My subs used to wait two-plus weeks on every draw. With PHOCIS, approved draws clear the same day — every time. That alone changed how my crews show up on Monday."
