FundingShield, a market-leading fintech providing plug-and-play solutions to manage risk, compliance, and fraud prevention, has entered into a relationship withCoreLogic®, a leader in global property information, analytics and data-enabled solutions, to provide comprehensive title fraud solutions via a seamless API integration to the CoreLogic Digital Mortgage Platform™. Together, the companies are working to protect borrowers and financial institutions from the rapid increase in wire and title fraud in recent years, delivering superior standards in data integrity, bank account verification, and counterparty compliance.
Wire and title fraud risk reached an all-time high in Q4 2023 with 51.8% of transactions having issues that led to a risk of wire and title fraud (citation).

FundingShield’s live ecosystem of service provider source bank data is one of the largest in the industry with over 95% coverage.
“Wire fraud prevention is a growing challenge and rising priority for CoreLogic clients,” saidBob Jennings, Executive, Collateral & Risk Solutions at CoreLogic. “As cyber-based threats hit the mortgage, title and real estate segments and payment-related fraud increases, our integration with FundingShield will allow our clients easy access to risk management solutions to address these concerns.”
