Secure, Connected Closings
Technology and protection built into the process.
Meridian Title combines secure communication, modern closing tools and fraud-prevention practices to help protect clients and keep transactions moving.
01 / Cyber Security
Protect Yourself From Cyber Fraud
Real estate transactions are frequent targets for email compromise and fraudulent wiring instructions. Always question unexpected wire emails, call a known title-company contact before sending money, confirm receipt after sending, and act immediately if anything seems unusual.
- Verify all wiring instructions by phone
- Use a trusted, independently verified number
- Report suspicious changes immediately
02 / Wire Fraud Protection
Wire Fraud Protection with CertifID
We’ve partnered with CertifID to safeguard funds and transaction details using advanced identity verification and secure wire instructions.
This reduces the risk of fraud and helps protect clients throughout the closing process.
