Fancy a trip to Oz? InfoTrack’s popular prize draw returns!

Legal IT provider InfoTrack has announced the return of its ‘Take me to Australia’ promotion—a popular prize draw to win a two-week holiday in Australia for two

The winner and a companion will travel to Sydney, Uluru and the Barrier Reef, with all flights and accommodation included plus $500 spending money. The prize will be drawn live in February.

InfoTrack clients will automatically receive an entry into the prize draw each time they use any of the following InfoTrack products between 1 November and 31 January 2024: eCOS (electronic client onboarding) including verification of identity, verification of funds and anti-money laundering checks; regulated or official local authority searches; indemnities; property report; contract packs; and AP1s.

Sam Jordan, COO of InfoTrack says: ‘We know our customers love Take me to Australia. It’s great fun and a lovely way to say thank you to our clients for their support. The live draw generates almost as much excitement as a Strictly final and I’m already looking forward to picking the winning numbers again.’

InfoTrack provides a range of products for digitising legal processes, including identity verification, e-signature, and conveyancing services. InfoTrack clients can now share digital contract packs with other conveyancers directly and can automatically populate AP1s from deeds—AP1s are the forms used to register the transfer of land.
