Mortgage Bankers Association’s MBA Newslink reports “FundingShield: Concerns of Wire, Title Fraud Still High in Q3”

FundingShield, Newport Beach, Calif., reported risks of wire and title fraud remained high in third-quarter data, although fairly flat from the previous quarter.

The report identified 49.2% of loans in the quarter as having at least one risk issue. Q2 clocked in at 50%, and the number was as low as 35.7% of loans in the first quarter of 2022.
