Rule effective date - every title company is now required to file

$50,000+

Per-violation federal penalty for failure to file

15 Minutes

Average time to complete a filing with TitleComply

I watched title companies across South Florida scramble to understand the new FinCEN rule. Most had no process, no automation, and no idea the penalties could hit $50,000 per missed filing. I built TitleComply because every title company in America needs this - not just the ones that can afford a compliance department.
