of Blockchain technology search, risk-scoring and data analytics solutions, is pleased to announce it has signed a BitRank
Verification ServicesTM purchaser agreement with Coinme, Inc. (“Coinme”). Located in the United States, Coinme has
locations servicing California, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Texas, Utah and Washington State. Coinme’s mission is to
humanize the power of blockchain technology by providing the most accessible, secure and user-friendly solution for exchanging
cryptocurrencies around the world. Under the agreement, BIG will receive a fee on addresses checked by Coinme that will utilize
BIG’s proprietary cryptocurrency risk-scoring and verification product, BitRank VerifiedTM.

processes millions of dollars (USD) in transactions each month. The company’s vertically integrated network of cryptocurrency ATMs,
digital wallet, exchange, OTC and investment services provide their customers with a variety of ways to gain access to virtual
currency.
With BIG’s proprietary BitRank VerifiedTM technology integrated into Coinme’s platform, the goal is to
reduce the risks associated with adopting and using cryptocurrencies. BitRank VerifiedTM will:
-
- support Coinme's efforts to comply with AML (Anti-Money Laundering) standards
- deliver transparency regarding the source and legitimacy of transactions
- provide Coinme's users with confidence that transactions are not involved with or implicated
in criminal activities
“This agreement contributes to establishing BitRank Verified
TM as the industry standard in ranking and verifying cryptocurrency transactions,"
said BIG CEO, Lance Morginn. "Our vision from the start for BitRank TM was to enable people and companies around the world to feel confident when using cryptocurrencies, so needless to say, we're
encouraged to be seeing significant and growing demand for our BitRank Verified TM service. And today’s agreement with Bitcoin ATM provider Coinme is yet another great addition to our
roster of clients. This is nothing less than a validation of our product's value in the eyes of the marketplace.”
Coinme’s CEO, Neil Bergquist, commented: “We are very excited to be employing BitRank
Verified TM in our platform moving forward. Consumers are demanding solutions to
eliminate the risk associated with cryptocurrencies, and we believe that integrating this service into our products will offer a
greater level of confidence and security to our clients. Furthermore, the addition of BitRank Verified TM will help us mitigate our own risks and meet regulatory requirements.”
