Wire fraud is a serious problem
Cyber criminals target you and other real estate transaction participants in order to steal funds that are being transferred during closings. They hack emails, impersonate title companies and spoof your real estate agent in an effort to trick you into sending funds to fraudulent bank accounts that they control. In 2021, cyber criminals stole over $350 million from 13,638 real estate fraud victims.

ClosingLock offers a secure, web-based platform for transmitting wire transfer instructions and other sensitive documents between buyers and lenders. Unlike the common practice of using emails or phone calls, which are vulnerable to hacking and spoofing, our platform ensures that critical information is protected. While emails and calls may suffice for less sensitive communication, when it comes to wire transfer instructions, security is paramount. ClosingLock significantly reduces the risk of phishing attacks, providing peace of mind to all parties involved.

Do not trust wire information outside of Closinglock!
Do not trust anyone who reaches out to you in an attempt to provide or request wire instructions. This includes phone calls, emails, links, attachments, letters, etc. If you have any questions, call your title company on a phone number that you get directly from their website.
