Premium Title tagline


Blockchain technology is evolving quickly in today’s FinTech segment and there are companies looking at ways to revolutionize and disrupt the title and settlement services industry. While the industry has experienced a dearth of meaningful technological innovation, most of the innovation revolves around automating archaic systems rather than promoting revolutionary thinking. Blockchain may provide a needed boost to disrupt the title and settlement industry.

There are numerous purported benefits for blockchain technology and most of them revolve around four main categories – transactional integrity, security, elimination of third-party intermediaries and speed. It is with these core benefits in mind that the white paper looks at the title and settlement transaction and some obstacles that might need to be solved to realize these sweeping benefits.
