Blue Line Protection Group, Inc. (BLPG) Grabs Top Spot as Leading Currency Processor for Colorado’s Cannabis Industry

Blue Line serves state-licensed cannabis businesses with secure currency transportation and change fulfillment services and provides security, transportation and risk mitigation solutions for financial institutions servicing the legal cannabis industry.

Blue Line has surged past all other armored transportation and vaulting providers, making Blue Line the premier secure transportation and currency services provider for cannabis operations throughout Colorado.  “No other armored courier has fulfilled the needs of this cash-heavy industry as we have,” said Daniel Allen, Blue Line’s CEO.  “Our commitment to customer service and our ability to provide compliant currency transportation operations has made us the number one choice for cannabis cash movement for our bank and credit union partners.”

Since opening its secure vaulting and processing operations in October 2016, Blue Line has secured the industry’s leading legal cannabis clients across Colorado.  Blue Line has increased the number of locations serviced per month from just 124 in January to over 1,000 by the end of September 2017, increasing its transportation revenue by over 700 percent.

Blue Line experienced an increase of 472 percent in the monthly client currency deposits since January, processing over $83 million in August and September alone, and $242 million in its secure vaulting and processing facility thus far in 2017.  “We’re on track to process half a billion dollars over the next year for this industry in Colorado alone,” added Mr. Allen.  “We’ve seen a tremendous increase in the number of clients served by our transportation and currency processing services.  We’ve also seen strong revenue growth in 2017, with a nearly 500 percent increase in our processing revenue since January.”

Besides currency processing and transportation, Blue Line also saw continued growth in its coin, currency and ATM services, fulfilling over $17 million in currency order requests for its clients this year.  Revenue for providing these change and ATM fulfillment services jumped 350 percent since January.

“The reason for the demand in our services 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.  Our trained and licensed personnel provide a level of customer service and communication unmatched by other armored service providers,” added Mr. Allen.

Blue Line continues to offer its compliance investigations services, having provided over 500 on-site assessments for its financial institution partners that help them comply with their “know your customer” requirements.  “We’ve been able to assist banks and credit unions with our on-site, independent, compliance assessment services,” added Mr. Allen.  “We help reduce business transactional fraud, limiting the risks to financial institutions offering banking services to high-risk operations like the legal cannabis industry.”
