Explanation:

Escrows duties require them to safe keep funds from third parties involved in sales contracts, therefore escrow companies should be solvent.

Imagine you are a client that needs to deposit $20,000 as earnest money for the purchase of a house. Would you be OK to deposit the money into an escrow company that has $0, or would you prefer to deposit your money with another escrow that is solvent. By requiring escrow companies some minimum level of solvency, that should guarantee that they will not use the money deposited to cover their own expenses.
