Security Service Title Co. offers services throughout Texas and plans to expand into Colorado and Utah.

“We created the Security Service Title Company to provide our residential and commercial clients and their realtors with a level of service excellence our credit union is known for,” said Jim Laffoon, president and CEO of Security Service FCU in a statement. “By choosing Security Service Title, our clients gain access to an expert staff who are highly motivated to exceed their expectations and to build a reputation as the ‘go to’ title company in the markets we serve.”

Charles Goss, executive vice president/chief lending officer of Security Service FCU, said that the new subsidiary will speed up the lending process “for our clients allowing shared ownership and accountability between our lending and title entities.”
