Thirdfort

Thirdfort was born out of a frustrating and costly experience when a friend of the founders was defrauded of £25,000 while buying a property, despite undergoing numerous traditional anti-fraud checks. This highlighted a critical vulnerability in high-value transactions, where regulated professionals like lawyers, estate agents, and mortgage brokers were struggling to keep up with escalating fraud and money laundering risks. For their clients, the process was often cumbersome, involving endless paper-based checks that were not only frustrating but also proved to be insecure. This firsthand experience of the devastating impact of fraud and the inefficiencies of the existing system inspired the creation of a solution to make these crucial life moments safer and smoother for everyone involved.
