idelity National Financial (FNF) and CLEAR Secure have teamed up to embed biometric identity verification into real‑estate closings, aiming to curb fraud such as impersonation and wire scams. The partnership plugs CLEAR’s identity platform into FNF’s inHere digital system, which oversees title and escrow operations. The move responds to a surge in fraudulent property sales. “Buying or selling a home is a major life event; everyone deserves security,” said CLEAR CEO Caryn Seidman Becker. “By fusing CLEAR’s biometric tech with FNF’s title expertise, we can confirm that every buyer and seller is who they say they are.” FNF launched a pilot in July in selected markets and will use the results to guide broader rollout. “Our partnership with CLEAR demonstrates our commitment to innovation and staying ahead of new threats,” CEO Mike Nolan added. CLEAR’s platform, trusted by over 33 million North American members, adds a biometric layer to prevent impersonation, tampered communications, and unauthorized access during closings. FNF also runs fraud‑awareness training and reduces email dependence through its inHere system.
