Wire fraud is a critical issue facing the title industry. One in three real estate transactions are targeted by wire fraud attempts, and just last year, customers lost an average of $96k per incident. As your underwriter, protecting the security of your escrow accounts and your ability to protect the security of your customers is important to us. The Stewart and CertifID partnership offers that protection. Through our exclusive deal, Stewart Trusted Providers™ get wire fraud protection for their customers at a discounted rate on Stewart files.

CertifID blends a unique combination of a preventative technology solution + funds recovery services. Since the start of 2021, CertifID has led 67 successful recoveries, resulting in the return of over $10.6 million to consumers and title companies. Here’s what a few Stewart and CertifID customers had to say:

“I want to thank CertifID. Without them, we know these funds would have been gone.” – Michelle Balachowski, Stewart Agency Services Representative (more from Michelle)

“I am grateful every single month when I look at the level of protection we are provided and the number of situations we have already thwarted by using CertifID.” ­– Robin Aberasturi, Stewart Trusted Provider (more from Robin)

“I highly recommend CertifID. It’s much easier than our previous processes, and it’s so quick. You know that you are covered, this is the way to prevent wire fraud.” – Lauretta Swanson, Stewart Escrow Assistant (more from Lauretta)
