We’re excited to announce that StewartPAY™, the first payments platform designed specifically for Canadian legal professionals and real estate workflows, will be available to Ontario law firms in early 2026.
Powered by uSecure Escrow Solutions*, StewartPAY is a secure, decentralized and easy-to-use platform that helps lawyers:
StewartPAY sends funds directly from your existing accounts—never through third-party intermediaries or pooled accounts. Built for legal professionals, it ensures compliance, reduces fraud risk, and streamlines workflows.
Legal professionals have long faced challenges with outdated, fragmented payment systems. Manual processes, data entry errors, frequent bank visits, and constant phone follow-ups have been persistent pain points.
StewartPAY addresses these challenges by offering:
Direct Bank Integration
Integrated with Canada’s top five banks (BMO, CIBC, RBC, Scotiabank & TD) means funds are sent directly from your accounts and not via third-party intermediaries or pooled accounts for compliance and security.
A Unified Dashboard
View incoming, pending, and outgoing funds across multiple accounts and financial institutions in one secure place.
Flexible Payment Options
Send and receive funds from anywhere in the world using Wires, EFT, PAD, EDI, Interac, Bill Payments, Credit Card, and more.**
Verified Templates
Create reusable templates for every bank and payment type to save time, eliminate keystroke errors and reduce fraud.
Fund Verification
Confirm funds are final and irrevocable for closing, minimizing delays and uncertainty.
Fraud Safeguards & Audit-Ready
Built-in safeguards to reduce wire fraud, plus file-linked payment tracking for effortless reporting.
Enterprise-Grade Security
Protects user credentials and sensitive financial data.
At Stewart, we’ve been listening closely to our clients and understand that transferring funds during real estate transactions is often challenging. StewartPAY is our response with a solution that reflects our commitment to partnership and innovation. We didn’t settle for a workaround; we invested in the right tool, putting lawyers at the centre of every closing.
StewartPAY is currently in beta and will officially launch in early 2026.
Sign up today to be among the first Ontario law firms to experience the future of real estate payments.

**StewartPAY functionality depends on the bank services for which the lawyer enrols (i.e., if a lawyer does not enrol for EFTs they won’t be able to release EFTs).
Stewart Title believes the decision of title insurance is best left to legal professionals and their clients. There is no obligation or requirement to order title insurance from Stewart Title or any other insurer when using StewartPAY.
