Stewart strengthens wire fraud security with new integration

Stewart Information Services has enhanced the wire security of its title and escrow system through a new integration with CertifID.

The integration will see that the users of Stewart’s AIM+ title and escrow production system are protected from wire fraud. AIM+ also features integrations with services such as Simplifile, UPS, FedEx, and DocuSign, providing a one-stop-shop experience.

“As we commit to protecting our customers and agents from wire fraud, integrations like this help build upon our partnership and CertifID’s expertise in securely connecting and sending wire instructions from AIM+,” said Tara Smith, group president of Stewart Agency Services. “Now any AIM+ user has the ability to save time and protect each wire transfer up to $1 million through a seamless experience in AIM+.”

Stewart and CertifID first teamed up last November to give Stewart customers peace-of-mind with increased protection for real estate money transfers.

“The FBI recently reported a 69% increase in cyber-crime complaints last year, and with wire fraud in real estate transactions continuing to grow, this integration makes it easier and safer for agents to safeguard their transfers,” said Tom Cronkright, CEO and co-founder of CertifID. “Through our partnership, Stewart agents can enjoy preferred pricing as we work closely with Stewart to provide convenient and efficient operational improvements to our systems and integrations, while protecting their business and consumers.”
