Frequently Asked Questions

Does PayoffProtect help our customers generate the payoff?

No, PayoffProtect validates the accuracy of wiring instructions to ensure that a payoff wire is legitimate and not fraudulent.

Do I need PayoffProtect if I only send payoffs by check?

Because check fraud has been on the rise, even this method may not keep you safe, and can get costly at an average of $25 per overnight check.

What kind of payoff should be submitted into the PayoffProtect tool?

Any payoff pertaining to a mortgage, HELOC, or commercial loan should be submitted into PayoffProtect. Any payment being sent to a personal account should use the CertifID core product to confirm those wiring instructions.
