You asked. We listened.

At FCT, your feedback drives our innovation. That’s why we’ve enhanced our Client ID Verification solution—making it faster, more flexible and more secure for legal professionals across the country. Built on trusted Bluink technology and designed to meet Canadian Law Society and DIACC standards, the tool allows clients to verify their identity in just minutes using their smartphone.

The latest updates reflect what matters most to our customers. We’ve added extra authentication checks to provide stronger protection against fraudulent activity. Legal professionals now have the flexibility to edit or cancel Client ID Verification requests, offering more control and saving valuable time. And a new, easy-to-read summary report delivers key information at a glance—speeding up file reviews without compromising accuracy. These upgrades are part of our ongoing commitment to provide you more than a policy.

 

With FCT, you get a partner that brings more protection, more solutions and more experience to every transaction.

 

The enhanced Client ID Verification solution offers a seamless, mobile-first experience that simplifies compliance and improves client onboarding, while fulfilling your legal KYC obligations. Legal professionals can begin verification as soon as the file is opened and manage all requests through a single, centralized portal. The solution uses biometric face match technology and secure digital wallets, helping ensure that each identity check is both reliable and compliant with Canadian standards.

 

Whether your client is closing in person or virtually, FCT’s upgraded Client ID Verification solution gives you everything you need to verify with confidence—quickly, securely and all in one place.
