Global Financial Institution Extends Engagement with IPSA International

12/7/16

IPSA International (IPSA), a root9B Holdings (OTCQB: RTNBD) company and leading regulatory risk mitigation firm, today announced a contract extension with a global financial company. The new agreement is worth at least $875,000 and extends this relationship through the end of 2017.

The client is one of the world's 30 largest multinational financial institutions and has contracted with IPSA to provide Anti-Money Laundering (AML) related compliance support associated with Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements. KYC requirements help financial institutions avoid illicit transactions by improving their view of a client's identities and business relationships.

IPSA assists clients in mitigating risks throughout the world. The information and analysis it provides is utilized to increase and protect clients' investments and assets by offering improved transparency to the choices they make, or uncovering wrongdoings within their organization. IPSA accomplishes this by providing timely, accurate and actionable intelligence.

"We are delighted our client has asked us to engage in another project," said Gary Ferrari, Senior Managing Director of IPSA International. "This agreement extends our relationship to include a second location outside the scope of our original engagement with this company. IPSA has a seasoned team of professionals working on important matters for our clients, with the goal of providing exceptional support every day."
