Closinglock is modernizing the real estate world’s way of transferring information to eliminate wire fraud and protects buyers, lenders, agents and closing companies from loss. Closinglock’s core feature is a secure portal for title clients to effortlessly retrieve wire transfer instructions. The portal is accessible from all platforms and on all operating systems – title clients can easily download wire instructions anytime, anywhere.
Through Closinglock, title companies can also send and receive documents with title clients (buyers/sellers/lenders/agents), and receive signatures via Closinglock’s eSigning integration. Closinglock sends automated text/call notifications, alerting title clients of available wire instructions, documents to sign, etc. All wire instructions and documents in Closinglock’s portal are encrypted using the latest AES encryption (approved by the NSA). Closinglock also offers optional two-factor authentication for clients logging in, which prevents unauthorized access.
By using Closinglock, title companies ensure they will never have to send wire instructions via email, and so their clients know to never trust any fraudulent wire instructions.

Accepting payments, managing your finances, and paying recipients should be simple. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. Finding integrated financial solutions to help your business thrive often requires you to weave together multiple products from different providers. While a small group of large enterprises enjoy the privilege of financial solutions tailored for their specific needs, the vast majority of Australian businesses are underserved due to a lack of innovation, disparate providers, opaque pricing, and restrictive contracts.
We believe in a level playing field where all businesses benefit from access to smarter payments technology and integrated financial services that enables them to accelerate their cash flow. So we’re hard at work building the tools to make it happen.
Zeller is one solution for all of your business finances. From EFTPOS payments to online invoicing, accounts and cards, its everything you expect from a business bank, but better.

Honeycomb is the observability platform that enables engineering teams to find and solve problems they couldnt before. Honeycomb’s approach is fundamentally different from other tools that claim observability, and is built to help teams answer novel questions about their ever-evolving cloud applications.
Other tools silo your data across disjointed pillars (logs, metrics, and traces), are too slow, and constrain teams to only answer predetermined questions. Honeycomb unifies all data sources in a single type, returning queries in seconds – not minutes – and revealing critical issues that logs and metrics alone can’t see. Using the power of distributed tracing and a query engine designed for highly-contextual telemetry data, Honeycomb reveals both why a problem is happening and who specifically is impacted.
Every interface is interactive, enabling any engineer – no matter how tenured – to ask questions on the fly, drill down by any dimension and solve issues before customers notice. Powered by machine learning, BubbleUp enables you to quickly spot outliers that reveal the cause of hidden issues. Engineering teams can deploy confidently, resolve incidents faster and focus on high-value work that drives innovation.
