Verification Services


Mortgage application fraud is on the rise due to identify theft and the pursuit of the lowest interest rate available, lowering monthly mortgage payments. In 2017 mortgage application fraud increased by more than 10%. In the first quarter of 2018, had increased by 12.4 %, making the need for verifying consumer data more important than ever for lenders.
