DENVER, March 21, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Blue Line Protection Group, Inc. (OTCPink:BLPG), a leading security, transportation and risk
mitigation solutions provider for financial institutions servicing the legal cannabis industry, continues to experience
unprecedented expansion in its vaulting and currency processing division with double-digit growth during the first two months of
2017.
Blue Line experienced an increase of 67 percent in the total dollar value of client currency deposits from January to February
2017. “Since our vaulting and processing division began operations last year, we’ve seen a tremendous increase in the number
of clients served by our transportation and currency processing services,” said Daniel Allen, Blue Line’s CEO. Revenue for
processing those deposits grew 78 percent during the same period.
Blue Line provides vaulting, currency processing and compliance investigations solutions to banks and credit unions. Blue
Line serves the financial institutions’ clients by securely transporting their currency assets from their business locations to
Blue Line’s secure vaulting and processing facility in Denver, Colorado.
“Our initial increase in client deposits of 292 percent from October 2016 to January 2017 demonstrated that there was a vital
need for our currency processing services,” added Mr. Allen. “The fact that we continue to experience tremendous growth
month-to-month shows that our vaulting and processing division has gained a solid foothold and continues to attract new clients,
adding to our already established base.”
Besides currency processing, Blue Line also saw continued growth in its coin, currency and ATM fulfillment services for its
clients, surging ahead with a 41 percent increase in February compared with the previous month. Revenue for providing these
change and ATM fulfillment services jumped 127 percent from January to February.
“Not only do we see an increased demand for our fulfillment services, our rapid expansion has also resulted in a triple-digit
revenue increase for these services,” added Mr. Allen. “The reason for the demand is simple: Blue Line provides superior
value, service and communication to our clients. We’re with our clients every step of the way, helping protect their cash
flow so they can provide uninterrupted service to their customers.”
Blue Line’s transportation division continued its month-to-month growth, as well. The number of client currency packages
