Overview
We're the only company dedicated to securing wire transfers with identity verification software, insurance, and proven recovery services. After law school, Tom Cronkright and a classmate founded Sun Title, a title company in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Ten years later, one of their employees wired $180,000 to a fraudulent account. This single case of wire fraud nearly sank the company and changed Cronkright's life forever.
