Wire fraud, email hacking and phishing attacks are on the rise! ONLY accept wiring instructions sent to you via our CertifID secure platform. NEVER respond to any emails that claim to contain revised wire transfer instructions, even if they appear to be sent by our company. Our instructions will NEVER change. Outgoing wires are also verified through CertifID.
Incoming Wire Process and reminders
Closing Funds/Incoming Wires:
All funds due at closing over $5000 must be wired, personal or cashier’s checks under $5000 are okay.
Campbell & Brannon has adopted CertifID, a fraud prevention platform that allows us to confirm your identity and protect the transfer of your funds. The frequency and sophistication of fraud surrounding wiring instructions used in closings is growing and CertifID helps keep us safer. There is a $5 fee at the time of closing for this security platform.
The purpose of this platform is to have one trusted source for wiring instructions; you should assume wiring instructions received by any other means are fraudulent. Our Wiring instructions will not change.
7-10 days prior to your closing, you will be contacted by CertifID and asked to “Get Started” by clicking on a secure link. Follow the steps to confirm your identity and confirm that you have received our wiring information. It will take less than 2 minutes.
Once you received a “Status: CertifID”, please take a screen shot of the wiring instructions so you will have them when you need to send the wire.
If you base your wire on an estimate, we can refund any overage or take a check for up to $5000.
Several weeks prior to closing, contact your bank or financial institution to confirm their wiring requirements and turnaround times.
Wires should arrive in our account prior to closing. We recommend you allow at least one day to accommodate for potential delays in the process.
Do not send electronic or ACH Transfers as they will be rejected and cause a closing delay.
Some online processes are actually ACH Transfers, do not initiate a wire online.
