Buying a home is one of the most significant decisions you will ever make. For first-time home buyers, the excitement of purchasing a home can quickly turn into anxiety, especially with the rising threat of cyber scams targeting property transactions. A recent incident in Melbourne, where a family lost over $500,000 due to a hacked conveyancer’s email, shows how critical it is to protect your hard-earned deposit from fraudsters.
At Zettle, we are committed to providing a secure and user-friendly digital conveyancing experience. That is why we have integrated Livesign into our app, offering you the highest level of protection with biometric secure chat.
The Melbourne case revealed the dangers of relying on email for property transactions. Hackers compromised the conveyancer’s email account, sending fraudulent payment instructions that led to a devastating financial loss. This situation highlights the risks of using traditional email communication when making large financial transfers.
With Livesign integrated into the Zettle app, all communications are conducted through a secure, encrypted chat platform that uses facial biometric authentication. This means every message you send or receive is protected by your unique facial biometric data. Only you and your authorised conveyancer can access this information, completely bypassing the vulnerabilities of traditional email.
Livesign’s integration allows Zettle to offer verified digital signatures that are securely bound to your government-issued ID using facial recognition. Every document you sign through the Zettle app is digitally signed and linked to your identity, ensuring the authenticity and security of your contracts.
