Realtime Conveyancer partners with eCAF to offer conveyancers improved efficiency and security

Written by Realtime Conveyancer | September 8, 2021

Realtime Conveyancer has announced a new integration with leading digital solution eCAF to further enhance the overall digital property transaction experience for Realtime clients. 

The seamless integration of eCAF will provide Australia’s only solution for combining contactless digital Client Authorisation Forms (CAFs) with simultaneous, real-time Verification of Identity (VOI) and Verification of Signer (VOS). Ian Hendey, CEO of thelawstore.com.au said that whilst digital signing is widespread across the legal and property sectors, eCAF is taking it one step further and providing practitioners with absolute certainty that the person signing the CAF is who they say they are.

“We’ve gone to great lengths with our investment in our technology and the people behind it to deliver a solution that biometrically binds the person behind the keyboard to their government issued ID, at the point of digitally signing the CAF.

The two processes are usually done at different points in time, not simultaneously, which does leave the process susceptible to issues around identify fraud.”

Ian Hendey, CEO of thelawstore.com.au
  • Combines digital verification of Identity and digital signature into a single point-in-time process;
  • Digitally extracts the most trusted government-issued ID photo of your customer;
  • Biometrically matches that trusted image to the person behind the device; and then
  • Provides you with the signed document and certificate of completion. 

eCAF is excited to provide this technology to Realtime Conveyancer’s clients, to further enhance their experience on the Realtime platform, which is already delivering WA practitioners with a new innovative way to transact online. Realtime Conveyancer co-founder and CEO Kylie Dillon said that the eCAF integration supported Realtime’s vision to make buying and selling more efficient by streamlining the end-to-end conveyancing transaction process.

“We are delighted to welcome eCAF to the Realtime digital ecosystem, as it delivers our clients with a faster and more streamlined way to meet their obligations around both signing of the eCAF and VOI at the same time, which will also reduce their exposure to associated risks.

RealTime is committed to delivering WA legal and conveyancing practitioners with an innovative solution that pushes the status quo in market. Our partnership with eCAF helps us to continue to strengthen the complete value we bring our clients, which ultimately delivers a superior online property settlement experience for all parties.”
