Investors and financial institutions are using cryptocurrencies every day. That means Fintech and the Financial Sector need to know what’s going on behind the transactions. Fortunately, BIG Blockchain Intelligence Group (BIG) makes that possible.
BIG provides trust and real-time risk mitigation through its comprehensive suite of tools and services for Fintech and the Financial Services industry.
BIG’s team and tools support cryptocurrency AML (Anti-Money Laundering), CTF (Counter Terrorist Financing), KYC (Know Your Customer) and OFAC efforts toward meeting traditional and anticipated regulatory and compliance requirements.
“Our BitRank Verified® service is the missing link to demonstrate diligent efforts to meet AML, Fraud and CTF regulatory requirements,” said Teresa Anaya, BIG’s Director of Financial Institution Strategy, and Certified Fraud Examiner, Certified AML Specialist, and Certified Bitcoin Professional.
Rather than wondering if cryptocurrency wallets are associated with illicit activities and entities, Fintech and the Financial Sector can rely on BIG’s:
unique datasets both on-chain and off-chain
Artificial Intelligence,
and live Research Department.
Equipped with BIG’s tools, investigators can forensically investigate and monitor illicit cryptocurrency use. BIG’s services and experience help level the playing field so investigators can catch the quickly adapting criminal element that hopes to use cryptocurrencies to hide illegal activities.
“Having solved real crypto crime, I understand the importance of having tools that are designed to meet the needs of investigators,” said Robert Whitaker, BIG’s Director of Forensics and Investigations, and Former Supervisory Special Agent with Homeland Security Investigations.
With the help of BIG’s team and full suite of forensic solutions, investigators quickly and reliably trace, track and monitor suspicious activities within cryptocurrency transactions and the “Dark Web”.
“Not only do we provide the tools that give Fintech and the Financial Sector the crypto information they need, we also present around the world on policy direction and regulation,” said Lance Morginn, BIG’s CEO and Co-founder, and Certified Bitcoin Professional.
That’s why BIG’s mission statement is to bring security and accountability to cryptocurrency with its trusted data analysis and risk-scoring capabilities for Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies.
