\"SafeChain\"
\n\u201cAs Texan Title seeks to drive more robust growth, we are also keenly aware of maintaining the security and integrity of our clients\u2019 transactions,\u201d said Todd Purifoy, Chief Information Officer at Texan Title. \u201cTo that end, as we seek to leverage blockchain throughout all of our operations, SafeWire was the clear choice for helping us prevent wire fraud and protect our clients\u2019 funds, as it is the industry\u2019s only wire fraud prevention platform leveraging blockchain today.\u201d<\/p>\n

SafeWire enables title agents to conduct identity verification and account ownership authentication on both the buyer and seller in the real estate transaction to prevent wire transfers to unauthorized parties and\/or accounts. As an added safeguard, the platform uses blockchain technology to securely store and transmit wiring instructions, thus circumventing the major source of wire fraud today — business email compromise schemes.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor growth-minded title agencies, addressing fraud must be at the top of their list of concerns,\u201d said Tony Franco, CEO and co-founder of SafeChain. \u201cHaving fully embraced the power of blockchain across its organization, Texan Title represents the future of our industry — innovation-friendly, technology-focused, security-minded title agencies committed to using any and all means at their disposal to improve operations and protect their clients throughout the home buying and selling process.\u201d<\/p>\n
