Legal professionals across Canada are turning to FCT’s Client ID Verification in growing numbers to safeguard their transactions against fraud. This cutting-edge solution is transforming the fight against increasingly sophisticated title fraud, already protecting tens of thousands of real estate deals—and its impact is only expanding.
Thanks to advances in fraudsters’ technology, fake IDs have become sophisticated enough to pass in-person inspection. Client ID Verification is a digital fraud prevention solution from FCT that helps legal professionals spot forged ID documents and confirm that their clients are who they say they are.
“The fact that so many legal professionals have fully adopted it shows just how important identity verification has become in the real estate industry,” said Ian Fitzner-LeBlanc, Vice President of legal solutions at FCT. “This solution changes the game in the fight against title fraud.”
Clients can get verified from a selfie and photos of their ID through Bluink’s eID-Me app a free-to-download mobile app. Accessibility and ease of use make it simple for legal professionals to verify identity, which means faster, more secure transactions.
