R3, the financial markets digital solutions provider, and Radian (NYSE: RDN), the data-driven, tech-enabled mortgage and real estate services family of companies, have collaborated to modernize and improve the title insurance, closing, and settlement services process. Titlegenius, provided by Radian Settlement Services Inc., utilizes R3’s Corda platform to help the real estate market by providing a simple, transparent, and secure way to order title and closing services online.

Titlegenius by Radian is a workflow management tool and system of record that provides real-time status updates to buyers and their agents. By leveraging R3’s Corda for secure document storage and data transfer, titlegenius helps simplify and speed the execution of property title transfers, increasing visibility of the transaction life cycle using cutting-edge blockchain technology. Customers can save an average of 25%* on closing costs compared to other providers.

Corda is R3’s open, permissioned technology platform, powering the tokenization of assets and currencies. The Corda platform delivers token issuance, collateral mobility, and settlement across markets, with the largest number of in-production solutions. Importantly, Corda transfers information and assets in a controlled environment to support privacy, security, sovereignty, and compliance. Corda helps speed and simplify the title insurance, closing, and settlement services process by putting the entire transaction management on blockchain, providing a secure, transparent record of ownership and transfer, accessible via titlegenius’s secure portal.

Kate Karimson, Chief Commercial Officer at R3 said, “We are excited to announce this collaboration with Radian. Titlegenius illustrates the advantages of moving title data onto an open, permissioned ledger. This integration on Corda brings better transparency, data control, and smart contract execution, offering time and cost savings to Radian customers. With the most live, in-production use cases of any DLT platform, Corda’s peer-to-peer structure continues to lead in privacy, security, and scalability for regulated markets.”

Steven Stipetich, Radian’s Senior Vice President of Title said, “The title transfer process is notoriously slow and complex, and we are excited to collaborate with R3 to make this process simpler and more efficient for our clients. There are many valuable use cases for DLT in the property space like bulk refinancing – already supported by the titlegenius platform. We look forward to continued collaboration with R3 in our mission to transform residential real estate transactions through cutting-edge technology.”
