Sunwest Trust operates in the financial services sector with a focus on escrow services. The company traces its origins to First Financial, a modest escrow firm that began with a single employee and no escrow accounts, and it earned a reputation for honesty, hard work, and fairness as it grew. Throughout the 1990s, the firm expanded by attracting new accounts and acquiring small escrow companies in and around Albuquerque, setting the stage for a merger-driven transition that culminated in a dedicated building for the business. In September 1997, First Financial's escrow accounts were merged with those of Sunwest Bank to form Sunwest Escrow, LC, combining the accounts serviced by both entities. Today, Sunwest Trust is based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, operating as a smaller regional player within financial services and focusing on escrow account management for its clients.
