Closinglock, a provider of fraud prevention technology and fintech solutions for the real estate sector, announced with great pride the successful completion of its $12 million Series A funding round at the start of February 2024. This investment, led by Headline and supported by LiveOak Ventures, RWT Horizons, and GTMfund, advances Closinglock's mission to "revolutionize" the information and funds transmission in the real estate industry.

The financing round served as a critical juncture for Closinglock, confirming the viability of its groundbreaking methodology and resilient infrastructure, which are designed to fortify the real estate sector against fraudulent operations and financial hazards.

In an interview with Techcrunch, Andy White, founder and CEO of Closinglock, declared that he plans to invest the newly acquired funds in technology, product development, and recruiting.

We are looking at the fintech side of it, especially when it comes to actually moving the money for real estate transactions so we are not cutting a bunch of checks, dealing with ACH transactions or wire transfers that go to the wrong spot.

The service is a needed resource for real estate professionals in all industry niches, as fraud targets one out of every ten real estate transactions in the United States and FBI data indicates that in 2022, over $446 million was allegedly perpetrated by over 2,200 individuals claiming to be victims of real estate wire fraud.
