Wire transfer fraud is one of the most serious trends in the mortgage industry. Recent Fannie Mae and FBI fraud alerts on wire transfer fraud identify more than 14,000 instances of this fraud scheme over the last year. Under this fraud scheme “hackers” use social engineering or computer intrusion techniques to send out a change of wire transfer instructions with the “new” account information.

More sophisticated fraud schemes and new regulations mean your mortgage lending services need to include fraud and verification tools optimized for today’s lending environment. Now, more than ever, you need to know whether the information behind loan documentation is authentic.

Since mortgage lending has changed over the last few years and more changes are coming in the years ahead, it’s imperative that your information provider has the ability to keep up with the evolution in the market.
