## Overview

CertifID is a wire fraud prevention and recovery platform serving the title and real estate closing industry. The company provides verification and protection technology for title companies, law firms, real estate agents, and their clients to secure funds transfers during property transactions.

The platform delivers three interconnected solutions: a branded digital closing experience (Secure Deal) for coordinating closing tasks in a protected environment, protected payment processing (Secure Payments) covering earnest money deposits and cash-to-close wire transfers, and Fraud Recovery Services for post-incident fund recovery in collaboration with the US Secret Service. The platform integrates with major title production software including SoftPro, RamQuest, Settlor, and AIM+.

Founded in 2015 and backed by USD 80M in total funding including a Series C round of USD 47.5M in July 2025, CertifID reported verifying 1.46 million wire transfers and preventing USD 283 million in financial losses in 2025. The company has assisted over 800 fraud victims through recovery services, with USD 127M+ recovered. In September 2025, CertifID acquired Painless Payoffs to expand its fraud recovery capabilities.
