WIRE FRAUD IS ON THE RISE

Wire fraud, email hacking and phishing attacks are on the rise! ONLY accept wiring instructions sent to you via our CertifID secure platform. NEVER respond to any emails that claim to contain revised wire transfer instructions, even if they appear to be sent by our company. Our instructions will NEVER change. Outgoing wires are also verified through CertifID.
