Protecting Your Closing with Advanced Fraud Prevention
At ClosePoint USA, the security of your funds and the integrity of your real-estate closing is our top priority. That’s why we’ve partnered with CertifID — a best-in-class wire-fraud prevention platform designed specifically for title and escrow transactions.
Why Fraud Protection Matters
In today’s real-estate world, wire fraud is one of the most serious threats to buyers, sellers, lenders and title companies. Fraudsters monitor and manipulate closing communications, fake email accounts or intercept wiring instructions — and once the money is gone it’s very difficult to recover. The statistics are sobering: thousands of transactions every year are impacted, with millions of dollars lost. CertifID helps us keep that risk far lower for our clients.
How We Use CertifID at ClosePoint USA
When you work with us, here’s how CertifID protection is woven into your closing process:
-
Identity & Device Verification — Before any funds are wired, CertifID verifies that the person requesting the wire is indeed who they say they are, using device metadata, biometric checks and identity-verification protocols.
-
Secure Wire Instructions Exchange — Wire routing details and instructions are delivered only through the certified CertifID platform, reducing risk of interception or manipulation of wiring details.
-
Insurance and Recovery Support — Every wire we initiate through CertifID is backed by the platform’s fraud-protection insurance and recovery services, giving you an extra layer of protection beyond standard procedures.
-
Education and Transparency — We’ll guide you through the process and help you understand red-flags like last-minute wiring-instruction changes, email spoofs, or urgent payments. With CertifID we ensure your closing is both efficient and secure.

What You Should Do
-
Always follow the instructions issued through the CertifID-portal link we send you — do not rely on wiring details from unsecured emails or text messages.
-
Confirm that any message about wiring funds or instructions comes from CertifID and from us.
-
If you see anything unexpected—such as a last-minute change in wire instructions, an email from a previously unknown address, or a URL that doesn’t match what we’ve provided — contact us immediately before sending any funds.
-
Keep your device secure and use the link we provide; phishing attacks often rely on fake websites mimicking your title company or escrow provider.
At ClosePoint USA, our goal is to deliver a closing experience that is smooth, transparent and above all — safe. With CertifID as part of our process, we’re raising the standard of protection for our clients — and for you.
