A closing workflow built around protection, not bolted onto a portal

CertifID was purpose-built for fraud prevention and expanded into closing workflows. ClosingLock started with workflows and added security later. That difference matters.

Protection built into every step, not added on top

More than a portal

Centralizing steps in one place is helpful. But title teams need more than a portal. They need a workflow where verification, insurance, and recovery are built into how the work gets done, not layered on top.

Protection that works with your process

CertifID verifies identities, validates accounts, and secures instructions inside your existing workflow. Every wire is backed by insurance before it's delivered. There's no opt-out path and no gap where an unverified transaction can slip through.

Protection doesn't stop at prevention

CertifID includes a dedicated fraud recovery team that has recovered $116M working alongside the U.S. Secret Service. When fraud happens, a recovery specialist handles law enforcement coordination, bank communication, and fund recovery on your behalf.

Designed for title workflows, not just payment collection

ClosingLock started as a secure portal and has been adding workflow features over time. CertifID was built on fraud prevention from day one. The workflow was designed around protection, not the other way around.

Protection architecture built from the ground up, not layered onto an existing portal.

Verification, insurance, and recovery built into the workflow, not offered as add-ons.

Every transaction reviewed by a validation team. If something fails automated verification, a human flags it with context and next steps.

No opt-out path for verification. Wire instructions aren't delivered unless they're backed by insurance.
