ACTIVETRACKSTM JOINS NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND SCREENERS MORRISVILLE, N.C., DATE – The National Association of Professional Background Screeners (NAPBS®) announced today that ActiveTracks is now a member of The National Association of Professional Background Screeners. ActiveTracksTM 6075 Poplar Avenue, Suite 223 Memphis, TN 38119 Worldwide each year, employers, organizations and governmental agencies request millions of consumer reports, keeping homes and businesses safe. Founded in the U.S. as a non-profit trade association in 2003, the National Association of Professional Background Screeners (NAPBS) was established to represent the interest of companies offering employment and tenant background screening services. Just as importantly, however, the initial members wanted to establish and promote a high level of ethics and performance standards for the screening industry. The Association currently represents over 700 member companies engaged in employment and tenant background screening across the United States. Member companies range from Fortune 100 companies to small local businesses, conducting millions of pre-employment and tenant background checks each year as part of the hiring and leasing process. NAPBS Member companies are defined as “consumer reporting agencies” pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and are regulated by both the FTC and CFPB. By joining NAPBS, ActiveTracksTM recognizes the mission of the association; to promote ethical business practices, compliance with the FCRA, equal employment opportunity, and state and international consumer protection laws relating to the background screening profession. NAPBS provides educational programs aimed at empowering members to better serve clients and to maintain standards of excellence in the background screening profession. NAPBS proudly welcomes ActiveTracksTM as its newest member in the screening industry! About ActiveTracksTM Founded by individuals with law enforcement and investment advisory backgrounds, ActiveTracks™ is the brainchild of friends who decided that there needed to be a better background screening product offered to the financial services industry. Given the requirements for investment advisors and fiduciaries to conduct operational due diligence on secondary money managers, the question arose as to how the focus could shift from a traditional, static background check that only reported past information, to a more dynamic, constantly monitored report that pushed information when a subject’s status changed. The combination of a deep-dive, retroactive report coupled with an information-pushing monitoring program became the focal point of the ActiveTracks™ team. Thus, the ActiveTracks™ brand was created to address the shortcomings and limitations found within the products offered by the screening industry. ActiveTracks™ is in the business of information pushing. With us, you plug-in to a pipeline that enables realtime awareness of critical screening criteria, transforming your otherwise occasional and static screening assessment into a dynamic, live risk mitigation operation. A key component to ActiveTracks’ ™ success has been the at-a-glance warning indicators found within our research reports. Because the genesis of ActiveTracks™ started with real users of screening reports (who like you, live under the demanding credo that time is money), you won’t find tedious, long winded reports that require an investment of effort and time to assess the results of screening research. Rather, at the beginning of each report you will find a dashboard that clearly indicates where you should focus your attention, followed by supporting information. The applicability and necessity of a forward-looking screening program was quickly noted for numerous industries beyond the financial world, so ActiveTracks™ developed a second division focused on consumer sales. Whether an organization’s needs stem from employment screenings, tenant screenings, volunteer screenings, or executive level venture partnership screenings, ActiveTracks™ has a product offering that can be tailored to fit most any need. About NAPBS® Founded in 2003 as a not-for-profit trade association, the National Association of Professional Background Screeners (NAPBS) represents the interests of over 700 member companies around the world that offer tenant, employment and background screening. NAPBS provides relevant programs including company accreditation and individual certifications as well as educational programs and materials aimed at empowering members to better serve clients and maintain standards of excellence in the background screening industry.
