Protecting you from wire fraud by using CertifID

CertifID

A technology solution, to securely exchange wiring information and guarantee your transaction up to $1,000,000.

Did you know that there have been over $90 billion in wire fraud attempts in just the past few years? And that banks are not liable for failing to stop these fraudsters? Why are real estate transactions targeted? Because they are incredibly lucrative! Think about it, each real-estate transaction is, on average, worth $200,000. And, they also involve multiple parties, all communicating electronically. It’s easy for the fraudster to find all the info they need through one hacked e-mail account. Once the money is gone, it’s gone for good. That’s why we at Michigan Title have partnered with CertifID! This new process will eliminate the risk of wire fraud and offers protection for you and your customers. At Michigan, all wire information will be transmitted within the secure and easy to use CertifID platform. Michigan Title will guide the buyer and seller through the process every step of the way. We are excited to share this valuable service with you!
