Wire fraud targets the exact moment money moves at closing — and title companies are on the front line. Your website is part of the defense.
Understand where fraud happens
Most wire fraud starts with a compromised email and a fake change of wiring instructions. The closing table is the target because that's where the largest sums move. Reducing how much sensitive information travels by email is the first line of defense.
Move documents off email
A secure document portal lets clients send IDs, payoffs, and details through an encrypted channel instead of a forwarded email thread. Fewer attachments in inboxes means fewer opportunities for an attacker.
Lock down the website itself
Your site should run on secure, managed hosting with SSL, firewalls, and daily backups — not a cheap shared host. A secure, well-maintained website protects the credibility that fraudsters try to impersonate.
Educate every client, every time
Put a clear wire-fraud warning on your site and in your communications: you will never change wiring instructions by email, and clients should call a known number to verify. Pair that with an accessible, modern site so the message reaches every visitor, on every device.
