Who it's built for

Edge: FundingShield
FundingShield

FundingShield serves every party whose capital is at risk: mortgage lenders, warehouse lenders, title insurance underwriters, closing agencies, and institutional investors.

CertifID

CertifID serves title companies, law firms, real estate agents, and consumers, and is building a full title-company closing platform after acquiring CloseSimple and Closinglock in 2026.

Is CertifID an alternative to FundingShield?

Only partly. CertifID protects the title company's wires at closing. FundingShield verifies the full transaction for the parties funding it, including closing agent licensing, insurance, CPL coverage, and title, before funding, purchase, or securitization.

Can a lender use FundingShield while its title agents use CertifID?

Yes. They work at different layers: the title agent secures its own closing-table wires, while the lender independently verifies the agent, CPL, insurance, wire account, and title before funding.

Did CertifID acquire Closinglock?

Yes. CertifID announced its acquisition of Closinglock on October 1, 2026, following its purchase of CloseSimple in June 2026.
