FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CALIFORNIA BANKERS ASSOCIATION EXCLUSIVELY ENDORSES AND RECOMMENDS PATRIOT OFFICER® AS THE “BEST-IN-CLASS” BSA/AML SOLUTION


Los Angeles, Calif. – January 22, 2007 –GlobalVision is proud to announce that, after very careful and intensive evaluation of various leading BSA/AML solutions, the California Bankers Association has decided to exclusively endorse and recommend the PATRIOT Officer® as the #1 BSA/AML solution to all of its members, including large, regional and community banks.


In recent years, government organizations have been raising the standard for financial institutions to strengthen their Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Anti-Terrorist Financing (ATF) programs. To help its members identify the best BSA/AML solution, the California Bankers Association took the proactive role and conducted a thorough evaluation of various leading national BSA/AML solutions.

“After a very intensive evaluation of leading national BSA/AML transactional monitoring solutions, CBA has agreed to exclusively endorse and recommend the PATRIOT Officer® as the best-in-category solution to all of our members,” noted Bill Murphy, the Senior Vice President of CBA.  PATRIOT Officer® uses exclusive technology, Dynamic Multidimensional Risk-Weighted Suspicious Activities DetectorTM (U. S. Patent Pending), to effectively automate the BSA/AML/ATF workflow and empowers financial institutions across the nation to efficiently comply with the risk-based policy, procedure, and process as required by the new BSA/AML Examination Manual published by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC). 

 

The PATRIOT OFFICER®, well known for having the highest degree of automation, efficiency and accuracy, is a highly scalable and fully integrated solution for financial institutions of all sizes.  The largest customer has about $100 billion in assets size.  More than 100 of its customers have more than $1 billion in assets size.  In addition, the PATRIOT Officer® is offered to small and mid-sized banks through many core banking system vendors and data centers.  Thousands of professionals are using the PATRIOT Officer® to automate their BSA/AML compliance processes with peace of mind.  Furthermore, the PATRIOT OFFICER® exclusively interfaces with United Crimes Elimination NetworkTM (“UCEN”) to forge the most powerful global network to eliminate financial crimes and prevent losses to financial institutions.  More and more financial institutions are replacing their legacy BSA/AML systems with the PATRIOT Officer®.


California has the fifth largest economy in the world. California Bankers Association is the largest banking trade association and one of the largest trade associations in the country. We are honored that California Bankers Association has decided to endorse the PATRIOT Officer® as the #1 BSA/AML solution to all of its members,” said Oliver Song, President and CEO of GlobalVision Systems, Inc. “In addition to the exclusive endorsement by California Bankers Association, PATRIOT Officer® is also endorsed by the other largest bankers associations in the nation, including the American Bankers Association, New York Bankers Association, Wisconsin Bankers Association, Pennsylvania Bankers Association, Florida Bankers Association, Colorado Bankers Association et al.  We look forward to further enhancing our national security through California Bankers Association.
