Client ID Verification combines FCT’s in-house expertise with Bluink’s technology to enhance fraud detection and prevention

OAKVILLE, Ontario: FCT, the leading national service provider in real estate technology and title insurance, today announced the introduction of Client ID Verification, its identity verification tool for legal professionals.

Client ID Verification leverages the eID-Me™ application developed by Bluink, which was built to meet the stringent Canadian identity verification standards. It utilizes biometric face-match technology and assesses government-issued identification documents while checking against a variety of datapoints, including credit bureau and mobile device account verification, driving compliance with the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada’s requirements on every transaction.

“This relationship with Bluink reflects our commitment to provide our customers with best-in-class technologies paired with our in-house expertise,” said Daniela DeTommaso, president of FCT. “Bluink’s products prioritize privacy, security and compliance, all of which align with FCT’s vision and values. We are excited to provide our customers with Client ID Verification to help them securely verify their client’s identities and help detect and prevent fraud.

“As fraud in Canada continues to evolve and become more sophisticated, identity verification plays an increasingly important role in prevention,” said DeTommaso. “Client ID Verification complements our team’s extensive experience in identity verification and fraud detection and its in-depth understanding of the real estate landscape.”

Client ID Verification not only helps prevent fraud, but streamlines processes for legal professionals, saving time while delivering quick and secure identity verification.

Access to the application will be available through FCT’s online portal.
