Why KHS Title Company partner with CertifID CertifID is the nation's leading wire fraud prevention solution.

AUSTIN, Texas TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CertifID, a leading wire fraud protection company, today announced a new strategic agreement with Old Republic Title to prevent mortgage payoff fraud in the title industry. Fraud has become an increasing source of loss in the real estate sector, reaching $446M in a recent FBI public service announcement. About 17% of title companies have sent money to an incorrect account due to fraud, and 49% of those organizations have done so more than once, according to a study by the American Land Title Association (ALTA). Additionally, less than half of title companies have adopted the industry best practice to use a wire verification service. Mortgage payoffs have become the largest source of loss for title and real estate law firms, due to their large transaction size at $247K in median loss, a complex lender landscape and lack of consistent use of technology. The new package offered by Old Republic Title and CertifID is designed to address this significant source of loss risk
