Regulatory posture.

Sub-processors, data residency, state-by-state money-transmitter matrix, and the FinCEN MSB filing state. Every claim on this page is dated. Items marked in progress are not yet active — they're listed so reviewers can see what is and isn't in motion.

Short version (the plain-English summary).

We use Cloudflare to run the website and store records, Coinbase's Base network to settle stablecoin and crypto payments, Stripe to handle card payments, and a banking partner (announced when ACH and wire go live) to handle bank transfers. We don't hold your money — it moves directly between you and your customer. The rest of this page is the long version for compliance reviewers; it spells out exactly what data each of those partners sees and what license framework each operates under.

Sub-processors.

Every third party in the receipt path. Updates announced via the public verifier chain so any change is provable.

Data residency.

Intent envelopes, receipts, and merchant records are stored in US-region Cloudflare D1 + R2 (IAD / ENAM). Chain anchors are published to Base L2 (public, global). Per-region pinning available on enterprise tier on request.

FinCEN MSB registration.

Status: in progress. EpochCore LLC's Money Services Business registration with FinCEN is being filed. The registration number will be published on this page once the filing posts to the public MSB Registrant Search. Until that point, EpochPay operates the developer payment rail; merchant-of-record obligations for money transmission remain with each merchant.

If your procurement review requires a registered MSB upstream of you, contact trust@epochpay.today before integration.

State money-transmitter matrix.

Per-state status. In progress = filing initiated but not active. Exempt or not required = no MTL needed for the operating model in that state. Active = license active and number published.
