Reduced Policy Premiums with Treefort IDV

Please circulate within your firm. View PDF

Now Available:

As previously announced, we are excited to introduce a $25 premium reduction to residential and commercial policy orders when a Treefort Identity Verification (IDV) has been completed for each borrower or purchaser in the transaction^†.

Available for orders placed on or after July 1, this reduced premium reflects our unwavering confidence in Treefort as the most thorough and effective IDV technology and recognizes your efforts in mitigating against the risk of title fraud. It also helps offset against the cost of verifying client identity with Treefort now that the free trial period has concluded.

To obtain the reduced premium on your policy orders, simply:

1) Issue Treefort IDV requests to each borrower/purchaser on the transaction via your Treefort account, API integrated platform or KYC On-Demand.

2) Once IDVs are completed, connect the Transaction Key(s) found on your clients’ Treefort IDV Reports to your Stewart Title order^†† prior to closing.
