Introducing ClearPath Compliance: Your Trusted Partner in BSA/AML and Financial Crime Solutions

Meeting the Moment in Financial Crime Compliance

In a financial landscape shaped by rising regulatory pressure, emerging technologies, and increasingly sophisticated criminal tactics, institutions of all sizes are asking the same question: how do we stay compliant, agile, and ahead of financial crime—without losing focus on what we do best?

At ClearPath Compliance, we were built to answer that question. We’re a boutique consulting firm specializing in BSA/AML, sanctions, and financial crime compliance. But we’re not your typical consultants. Our team is made up of former BSA Officers, compliance executives, and frontline practitioners who’ve been in your seat.

We understand the real-world challenges institutions face—because we’ve lived them.

Whether you’re a community bank preparing for your next exam, a fintech navigating complex regulatory expectations, or a crypto platform needing structure and clarity,

Led by industry veteran John Calderon, ClearPath provides tailored solutions that meet you where you are and get you where you need to go. With a focus on practicality and scalability, ClearPath's solutions are customized to match the risk profile and growth trajectory of each client.

Why We’re Different

Small and mid-sized banks, credit unions, and emerging fintech and crypto companies deserve better than cookie-cutter solutions and off-the-shelf advice. The vendor space is long overdue for change. Too many providers overpromise, underdeliver, and lack the in-the-trenches experience needed to deliver meaningful results. They’ve never sat in the seat of a BSA Officer. They’ve never had to face regulators across the table. They’ve never lived the pressure of consent order deadlines.

At ClearPath Compliance, we bring something different to the table—lived experience, not just checklists. We’ve navigated the audits, rewritten the policies, tuned the models, trained frontline staff, and rebuilt programs under regulatory scrutiny. Our mission is to deliver real solutions from real practitioners—and help institutions meet their regulatory obligations with confidence, clarity, and credibility.

This isn’t just consulting. It’s a movement toward more thoughtful, accountable, and practical compliance support.

Who We Serve

We partner with the kinds of institutions that are often underserved by traditional consulting firms—community banks, credit unions, early-stage fintechs, and digital asset platforms. These are organizations expected to meet the same high regulatory standards as the largest financial institutions but often without the same resources.

Our role is to help level the playing field. We don’t just provide advice—we help you build and execute a sustainable path forward.

What We Do

ClearPath offers a full range of BSA/AML and financial crime advisory services, including:

• Independent AML Audits – Objective, risk-based reviews that satisfy regulatory expectations without unnecessary complexity.

• Model Validations – Practical testing of transaction monitoring and sanctions screening systems, with tailored recommendations.

• Enterprise Risk Assessments – Comprehensive, right-sized assessments built from real operational insights—not templates.

• Remediation and Lookbacks – Hands-on help during high-pressure moments, including regulatory findings, consent orders, and internal audit fallout.

• Vendor Due Diligence and Oversight – Helping you select and supervise third-party providers with confidence.

  
  

We also provide interim staffing, QC support, and program design—because sometimes the biggest gap is having experienced boots on the ground.

Why It Matters

The regulatory environment isn’t getting any easier. From FinCEN’s evolving expectations to increasing scrutiny on BaaS, crypto, sanctions, and fraud, institutions today need more than theory. They need guidance grounded in what actually works.

What sets ClearPath apart is our ability to bridge the gap between policy and practice. We don’t just write recommendations—we help implement them. And we build solutions designed to last beyond the next exam.
