Veto vs CertifID

CertifID is the choice for verifying wire instructions and insuring transactions before funds move — multi-factor identity checks, account validation, first-party insurance up to $5M per file, and a fraud-recovery team. Veto is the choice for recording the escrow office's pre-disbursement review as a file-ready record — capturing what changed, what was checked, what stayed open, and who decided. Veto works alongside CertifID, not instead of it.

The file-ready record of the office's review.
