The Safe Move Scheme is conceived and operated by BE Consultancy Ltd and enables conveyancers to discharge their duty of care to protect clients from fraud.

It does this by providing property buyers with the option to use a secure mechanism for checking bank account details before transferring money to their conveyancing firm and by providing a secure alternative to email.

Conveyancing firms can register free of charge to join the Safe Move Scheme and are then able to discharge their fraud duty of care on each transaction.

Lloyd Davies, Operations Director at the Conveyancing Association, commented:

“We are very pleased to announce that our ninth Affiliate member, Safe Move Scheme, has joined the Association. A key work project for the CA this year is around fraud prevention and the measures conveyancing firms can put in place to de-risk their businesses in this area. The Safe Move Scheme team have already provided us with invaluable expertise and insight, and have been assisting us with our ongoing cyber protection and prevention campaign. We particularly welcome their support in this area and we are delighted to have them as formal affiliate member partners. Next month we will be publishing our Cyber Crime Protocol and we believe our member firms will benefit greatly from these best practice standards and, with the added support of Safe Move Scheme, we can work towards ensuring we are fully protected when it comes to combating cyber fraudsters. We look forward to Safe Move Scheme taking a full part in the next stage of the CA’s development.”
