Headquarters address
CertifID was founded in 2017 by Lawrence Duthler and Tom Cronkright. Experienced attorneys, and award-winning business leaders of Sun Title, one of Michigan’s largest title agencies, ranked as an Inc. 5000 company for the past three consecutive years.
Tom and Lawrence fell victim to fraud in 2015 when they wired $180,000 to a fraudster thinking he was a legitimate seller. After two years of hunting down the culprits, they realized who they were up against. A sophisticated global network that had cracked the code on these transactions and was wreaking havoc on the more than 25,000 title companies in the US through hijacked email, fake phone numbers, and stolen credentials. Through that experience, they identified a need in the marketplace to create a real-time solution to verify identities and documents in financial transactions – CertifID was born.
