- Business Intelligence Leader and IPSA Showcase Template at FIBA Conference

IPSA International, Inc. (IPSA), an international investigative and risk advisory firm, and Information Builders, a leading software development company, have partnered to develop a powerful trade finance, anti-money laundering solution. The software application, OmniTrade, is being developed to facilitate improved adherence to the anti-money laundering (AML) and counterterrorist financing (CTF) guidelines as set forth by the U.S. Treasury Department through the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and/or the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC).

The OmniTrade Anti-Money Laundering Solution helps financial institutions apply a risk-based approach that seamlessly connects Letter of Credit and Bills of Collections systems with traditional financial networks. As a result, banks can ensure regulatory compliance through monitoring transactions, flagging suspicious activity and alerting stakeholders when problems arise.

Recently, Information Builders and IPSA exhibited a template at the recent FIBA Anti-Money Laundering Conference in Miami, Florida where the software was extremely well received by the conference attendees.

Dan Wachtler, President and CEO of IPSA, states, "Combining our expertise in AML/CTF from an investigative, consulting and policy perspective with a partner such as Information Builders, with their strong capabilities and proven track record for deep analytics and robust integration, creates a powerful team to finally address trade finance issues in a meaningful way. Our Project Lead, Ehsan Valipay, and the entire IPSA team are thrilled to announce this partnership."

"The intent of our OmniTrade application is to automate the consolidation and validation of key trade finance information to develop a 360 degree view of the trade and its participants. We use that view to monitor a range of Anti-Money Laundering and OFAC sanction scenarios to enable banks to ensure that they are implementing a best practice based auditable process to identify and flag suspicious transactions for further investigation," said Dennis McLaughlin, Vice President of Global iWay Operations.
