IBIS Management Associates Inc., the provider of global payment processing solutions, regulatory reporting and compliance advice to the financial industry, officially opened its regional office for Asia in Singapore in March of this year. IBIS Management Associates Singapore PTE Ltd. will lead the growth and expansion of IBIS Management Associates to become the regional hub for the Asian region, servicing initially the booming Asian Trust sector followed by banks and other financial institutions. The company plans to establish a strong presence, building a local team to support implementation processes and 24-hour helpdesk for its various award winning payment platforms. The global financial industry is going through many significant changes and Trust companies are increasingly required to adhere to global compliance standards and regulations. With a solution in place that not only automates the various aspects of the payment process which decreases operational risk and costs, but also reduces compliance exposure by conducting real-time compliance checks, which is key to the continued acceptance of the trust sector. FUZE, a payment gateway developed by IBIS Management specifically to address these growing needs and concerns, has been implemented by some of the world's largest trust companies. Heading the new IBIS office in Singapore, is Mr. Marco Lauber. Lauber has an extensive track record in the Banking and payments industry and financial messaging services and solutions for global financial jurisdictions. As the Director of Business Development for Singapore and Asia, he will be developing, coordinating and implementing plans designed to increase existing business and capture new opportunities.
