Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Program
Eclipse Pay maintains a comprehensive, risk-based AML Program that meets the requirements of U.S. federal and state
regulatory frameworks. Our program is overseen by a designated Compliance Officer (BSA/AML Officer) and is reviewed
and updated on a regular basis.
Program Components
1. BSA/AML Compliance Officer
A designated BSA/AML Compliance Officer is responsible for overseeing the AML Program, ensuring regulatory
compliance, filing SARs, and serving as the primary point of contact with FinCEN, the Colorado Division of
Securities, and other regulators.

Clients are assigned a risk rating (Low, Medium, High) based on these factors, which determines the level of due

Elder Financial Abuse and Vulnerable Person Protection
Our Commitment
Eclipse Pay is committed to protecting elderly individuals and other Vulnerable Persons from financial exploitation.
Given that our Clients are HNWIs, we are particularly attentive to signs of undue influence, coercion, or
exploitation by family members, caregivers, financial advisors, or other parties in a position of trust.
We have implemented a dedicated Elder Financial Abuse and Vulnerable Person Protection Program as part of our
broader compliance framework.
Regulatory Framework
Our Elder Financial Abuse protections are aligned with:
- Elder Justice Act (U.S.) — supports the reporting of suspected elder abuse
-
State elder abuse reporting laws (U.S.) — mandatory reporting requirements in applicable jurisdictions,
including Colorado
-
FinCEN advisories on Elder Financial Exploitation, including SAR filing guidance and "Elder Financial
Exploitation" SAR narrative requirements
Red Flags and Indicators
Our transaction monitoring system, blockchain analytics, and staff are trained to identify the following red flags:
Transaction Pattern Red Flags
- Sudden changes in Transaction behavior or volume inconsistent with the Client's established wealth profile
- Unusual instructions to redirect USD settlements to new or unfamiliar bank accounts
- Rapid conversion of large Stablecoin holdings to USD followed by transfer to third-party accounts
- Transactions initiated at unusual times or under apparent urgency
- Unexplained changes to wallet addresses used for Stablecoin delivery
Authorized Representative Red Flags
- Sudden appearance of a new Authorized Representative, particularly one who is not a family member or established advisor
- Authorized Representatives who insist on being present during all communications with the Client
- Power of attorney documents that appear recently executed or grant unusually broad authority
- Authorized Representatives who answer questions on behalf of the Client without allowing the Client to speak
- Reluctance by the Authorized Representative to allow direct contact with the Client
Behavioral Red Flags
- Clients who appear confused about their own Transactions or account details
- Clients who express fear, anxiety, or reluctance when discussing their finances
- Transactions that appear to benefit a third party more than the Client
- Isolation of the Client from family members or long-standing advisors
- Unexplained decline in the Client's financial decision-making capacity
Blockchain-Specific Red Flags (via Chainalysis)
- Stablecoin received from wallets associated with fraudulent schemes being converted to USD
- Conversion of elderly persons' Stablecoin to USD by a third party without clear authorization
- Off-ramp Transactions where USD is directed to accounts associated with known exploitation schemes
- Wallet addresses linked to exploitation networks identified through Chainalysis transaction graph analysis
Detection and Monitoring Measures
1. Automated Transaction Monitoring — Custom rules and models designed to flag Transaction patterns consistent
with elder financial exploitation, including velocity checks, redirect pattern detection, and behavioral deviation
analysis
2. Blockchain Analytics (Chainalysis) — Wallet risk scoring to identify whether Stablecoin movements show
patterns consistent with exploitation (e.g., rapid pass-through to known fraud-associated wallets, transaction graph
links to exploitation networks)
3. Manual Review — Trained compliance analysts review flagged Transactions, with specific training on elder
financial abuse indicators. Relationship Managers are also trained to escalate behavioral concerns
4. Enhanced Due Diligence — Clients whose Transaction patterns show elevated elder abuse risk indicators are
subject to enhanced due diligence, including direct contact with the Client (not through their Representative) to
verify authorization
5. Authorized Representative Enhanced Scrutiny — All Transactions initiated by Authorized Representatives are
subject to enhanced verification, including:
- Verification of the power of attorney or authorization document
- Direct contact with the Client to confirm instructions (where feasible and appropriate)
- Monitoring of Representative-initiated Transaction patterns
- Enhanced Chainalysis screening of Representative-provided wallet addresses
6. Staff Training — All compliance, operations, and Relationship Manager staff receive dedicated training on:
- Recognizing red flags of Elder Financial Abuse
- Understanding the tactics used by perpetrators of financial exploitation
- Proper escalation and reporting procedures
- Maintaining confidentiality and avoiding tipping-off
- Sensitivity when interacting with elderly or vulnerable Clients
