Stop "Piecing It Together": Why We Added Payments to the CloseSimple Platform

In the title industry, the customer experience is often "pieced together." You might use one vendor for e-signatures, another for text updates, and a completely different, third-party tool to collect payments.

While this may seem like you're "checking the boxes," this fragmented approach is causing two massive problems:

  1. It Creates Customer Confusion: Your client gets an email from your team, a text from CloseSimple, an e-sign request from another domain, and then a payment link from a fourth, unknown system. This forces them to ask, "Is this email legit?" for every step, killing your efficiency and their confidence.
  2. It Opens the Door to Fraud: Fraudsters thrive on confusion. When a client is trained to expect official-looking links from multiple, random vendors, it's incredibly easy for a fraudster to slip in a fake one. You are, in effect, training your clients to be phished.

At CloseSimple, we believe the opposite. The most secure, efficient, and professional closing is built on consolidation.

That's why we are excited to announce the addition of Payments directly into the CloseSimple platform.

This isn't just another feature; it's the final, critical piece of the puzzle. Our goal is to pull all of these fragmented interactions into one secure, consistent, and company-branded experience.

Now, you can securely:

  • Collect Earnest Money Deposits (EMD)
  • Complete Cash to Close

The most important part? This all happens in the exact same platform your customers have been using from day one.

When a customer gets a payment request inside the same portal where they've been tracking their closing, e-signing documents, and communicating with your team, there is no question of legitimacy.

It's one simple, secure, and familiar place for everything. By consolidating, you eliminate the confusion, close the gaps for fraud, and finally deliver the seamless experience your customers deserve.
