Fidelity National Financial to Use Notarize for Online Closings

Jun 11, 2019

Notarize, the first company to enable an entirely online real estate closing process, announced that Fidelity National Financial (FNF) has announced that its direct operations and independent title agents are now using Notarize for online closings in states where this process is permitted.

FNF’s announcement is the latest mortgage industry inroads being made by Boston-headquartered Notarize, which stated last week, it passed the $1 billion mark for real estate transactions after 18 months in business. In an interview last week with National Mortgage Professional, company Founder and CEO Pat Kinsel said the Notarize technology offered an “integrity of the transaction offers 10 times, if not 100 times, of an improvement over the analog world. This is a much better experience in every way.”

“We’re committed to continually expanding digital solutions for our direct offices and independent agents to help them provide consumers with a better homebuying experience,” said Jason Nadeau, Chief Digital Officer of FNF. “Our use of Notarize adds an important tool in helping us accomplish our goal of facilitating a streamlined, end-to-end digital real estate transaction.”
