You deserve protection. We know how to help.

CertifID's founders know the devastating impact of wire fraud firsthand. Now they're on a mission to keep others safe from the same risks.

Our Mission

Every year, millions of mothers, brothers, friends, and neighbors fall victim to cybercrime and lose hard-earned money or, worse, their life savings. We want to put an end to fraud and protect these unsuspecting victims. That’s why we created an ecosystem of products and services to help protect life's most valuable transactions.

Our Story

Fellow law students and business partners Tom and Lawrence founded their title company, Sun Title, in 2005. In 2015, they experienced a $185,000 wire fraud. After that incident, they realized this type of fraud was much larger and more sophisticated than anyone expected.

Upon this realization, a company was born: CertifID. Founded on the need to validate identity in real time and share sensitive financial information, CertifID has stepped up to the task of sending, collecting, and validating credentials so that anyone who transfers money, especially during life's major milestones, can feel safe and protected throughout the process.

Today, CertifID protects billions of dollars.

CertifID works with businesses across all industries to deliver safe, secure transactions every time.
