BIG Blockchain Intelligence Group Inc. Integrates BitRank into its Recently Acquired Netcoins Platform to provide End To End Compliance And Risk-Scoring Solution
VANCOUVER, August 20, 2019 – BIG Blockchain Intelligence Group Inc. (“BIG” or the “Company”)(CSE: BIGG; OTC:BBKCF; WKN: A2JSKG), a leading developer of Blockchain technology search, risk-scoring and data analytics solutions, is pleased to announce that it has integrated BitRank Verified(R) into the recently acquired Netcoins trading and brokerage application. This is in-line with BIG’s vision of bringing greater and enhanced compliance to the cryptocurrency industry.
BIG’s transaction risk-scoring BitRank Verified(R) service will enable Netcoins to:
- reduce the trading risk exposure related to cryptocurrencies;
- increase confidence in meeting regulatory compliance;
- stop the flow of coins tied to Dark Web activity;
- increase security through Anti-Money Laundering (AML) efforts;
- deliver transparency regarding the legitimacy of transactions;
- create a deterrence against criminal elements that may engage in illicit activity; and,
- provide assurance to their customers that measures are in place to strongly curtail illicit transactions or reduce the amount of illicit funds that could have otherwise transacted.
Netcoins OTC (Over-the counter) trading business has also been enhanced with BIG BitRank technology, allowing the validation of both inbound and outbound coins and transactions by identifying whether they are associated with entities or exchanges connected with criminal elements.
BIG’s full suite of cryptocurrency security tools and services, including our transaction risk-scoring BitRank Verified(R) service, its QLUETM cryptocurrency investigation platform, and in-house Forensic Services Division can now be utilized with Netcoins.
When BitRank Verified(R) flags questionable or illegitimate transactions, QLUETM (Qualitative Law Enforcement Unified Edge) is used to perform due diligence and blockchain security investigations at greater forensic depth by exploring where the related funds are coming from and the security profiles of the entities involved. BIG’s in-house Forensic Services Division provides a deep dive to obtain an even greater level of insight and identification of the entities involved in the given transactions.
“We’re very excited to now provide a simple, secure and transparent method to trade and invest in cryptocurrency,” said BIG President, Lance Morginn. “Our Company now represents a new industry standard of safety for trading and brokerage in the crypto financial space. We can facilitate trading with cryptocurrencies in confidence, transparency and security as we meet current and pending compliance regulations and engage in AML. This will again help to bring cryptocurrency mainstream.”
BIG CEO, Mark Binns, commented, “With BitRank now embedded into the Netcoins trading and brokerage App, and BIG’s QLUETM engine and Forensic Services Division at Netcoins’ disposal, we can offer our global customers the highest level of security and confidence as they look to trade and invest in cryptocurrency.”
