Atlas, which combines title and escrow production and vendor management along with client and homebuyer connectivity, is built with newly developed advanced configurability and automations to manage the unique complexity of national enterprise operations.

“We originally launched Qualia almost 10 years ago with the belief that a modern technology infrastructure could fundamentally transform homebuying into a simple, secure, and enjoyable experience for everyone involved,” said Nate Baker, Qualia’s Co-founder and CEO. “Atlas is the culmination of several years of development to provide a unified closing platform for enterprise title companies.”

Atlas includes a suite of newly released enterprise-critical functionality and services:

Data access via an enhanced API for integration with internal systems such as CRM, analytics, and accounting tools
Order opening automations to assist teams with high transaction volumes
Privacy and permissioning controls for multi-branch or agency operations
Sophisticated tasking capabilities to support centralized operations functions
A suite of anti fraud tools

In addition, Atlas provides companies with a standardized integration layer that is easy to manage across all transaction parties, eliminating the need for rigid custom-built integrations. This integration layer enables title companies to efficiently partner with their lenders, real estate agents, vendors, consumers, and underwriters. These integrations automate title & escrow companies’ workflows and the dependent workflows for their transaction partners. By providing enterprise-critical functionality and a standardized integration layer, Atlas enables the "connected transaction." This groundbreaking technology streamlines real estate closings from end-to-end for all parties involved in the transaction.

CertifID Launches Seller Identity Verification Solution for the Real Estate Industry

Businesswire | May 15, 2023

CertifID, a leading wire fraud protection company, today announced the availability of an identity verification solution to help title agencies and real estate firms combat seller impersonation fraud. The solution augments CertifID’s existing capabilities that evaluate more than 150 markers of fraud, including the verification of wiring instructions and bank account information. The new solution is aimed at addressing an alarming increase in seller impersonation scams involving vacant land. The real estate industry overall continues to be a top target for fraud, according to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). Vacant lots scams in particular have been fueled by a downturn in existing home sales paired with an increase in vacant land prices, as noted by the National Association of Realtors (NAR). The news also follows an advisory issued by the U.S. Secret Service Cybercrime Investigations division in January, citing a “sharp increase in reports of real estate fraud associated with vacant and unencumbered property.” According to CertifID’s own research, 73% of real estate firms have seen a year-over-year increase in seller impersonation fraud attempts since the start of 2023. To help detect seller impersonation fraud, CertifID recommends the use of its solution to comprehensively verify the identity of a seller in any property sales involving vacant land. The solution includes the use of device verification, multi-factor authentication and knowledge-based authentication to triangulate and verify the identities of sellers. Here’s how it works: At the beginning of the closing process, the title company works with the listing real estate agent to initiate a request for seller information through CertifID; CertifID then performs a series of security checks that assess the risk of fraud; If CertifID determines a high risk of fraud, a request for additional proof of ownership from the seller is made; Any change in seller parties or payment details should trigger an additional request to re-verify identity before closing funds are sent. The solution from CertifID also includes wire fraud insurance of up to $1M per transaction for sellers that are verified through the solution. “Most of our transactions are with remote sellers, so it’s nearly impossible for me to verify identity in person,” said Christian Ross, President of Ross Law | Ross Title. “I’ve evaluated a number of ID validation tools to solve for this problem, and none of them provided the level of security that CertifID provides.” “This latest increase in seller impersonation scams coincides with the adoption of virtual closings and the ongoing acceleration in cyber fraud activity,” said Tyler Adams, CEO of CertifID. “With a majority of U.S. states seeing a net increase in vacant land sales, the industry has to respond by upgrading its payments fraud protection capabilities. CertifID is providing this new solution to help title agencies and real estate firms secure and insure their transactions, as well as protect their client community.” About CertifID CertifID is a leader in wire fraud protection. The company safeguards billions of dollars every month from fraud with advanced software, insurance, and proven recovery services. Trusted by title companies, law firms, lenders, realtors, home buyers and sellers, and others, CertifID provides further peace of mind with up to $1M in direct coverage on every wire it protects.

Snapdocs Builds Integration with Finastra to Enable a Seamless Closing Process for Trustmark

Businesswire | May 03, 2023

Snapdocs, the mortgage industry’s leading digital closing platform, today announced a new integration with Finastra’s Mortgagebot loan origination system (LOS) to support Trustmark’s eClose transformation. The integration allows Trustmark’s lenders nationwide to execute closings in one centralized workflow – using Snapdocs’ digital closing platform within the MortgagebotLOS platform – to drive faster closing times, reduce operating costs, and enhance the borrower experience. This partnership is the latest of five different integrations built by Snapdocs in just 12 months to give lenders the ability to connect their technology portfolio and further streamline the shift to digital closings. “The transition to digitized processes is the most successful when the technologies in a lender’s existing stack work harmoniously together,” said Camelia Martin, Vice President, eMortgage Strategy & Industry Affairs. “Our continued effort to expand our partner network and accompanying integrations with leading providers like Finastra is essential in creating more value for the entire mortgage ecosystem.” Trustmark National Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trustmark Corporation (NASDAQGS:TRMK), is already using the integration to automate the closing process across their technology ecosystem and deliver upleveled customer experiences. “Our mission since our founding in 1889 has been to achieve outstanding customer satisfaction. The integration between Snapdocs and MortgagebotLOS will build on the strong foundation we’ve built to move to digital mortgages by simplifying the eClosing process for all parties involved, and making it significantly easier for our borrowers to quickly review and sign closing packages the way they prefer,” said Robert Parker, Senior Vice President, Mortgage Services, Trustmark. With the new integration, Trustmark lenders can easily facilitate digital closings powered by Snapdocs and finalize transactions without leaving MortgagebotLOS. Lenders can order required closing documents and data within MortgagebotLOS and securely transmit them to Snapdocs to initiate the closing process. The completed documents are then encrypted and returned to MortgagebotLOS for secure storage. The result is a more efficient and transparent experience for all parties involved in the closing. “Our partnership with Snapdocs further validates our work to create a solution that’s open to innovation, and empowers our joint customers to adopt the technology and tools they need to grow in any type of market,” said Mary Kay Theriault, Director of Product Management at Finastra. “We’ve long admired Snapdocs’ work to redefine the mortgage experience and streamline what has traditionally been a very manual and labor-intensive process. This integration will only accelerate the move to digital mortgage closings and create a more efficient, secure, and transparent process for all participants.” About Snapdocs Snapdocs is the mortgage industry's leading digital closing platform. Powering millions of closings each year, Snapdocs combines an open platform, patented AI technology, an extensive settlement network, and a team of industry experts to ensure digital closing success.
