Older adults can become targets of financial
exploitation by family members, caregivers, scam artists, financial advisers, home repair
contractors, fiduciaries (such as agents under power of attorney and guardians), and others.
Older adults are attractive targets because they may have significant assets or equity in their
homes. They may be especially vulnerable due to isolation, cognitive decline, physical
disability, health problems, and/or the recent loss of a partner, family member, or friend.
Financial institutions can play a key role in preventing and detecting elder financial exploitation.
A financial institution’s familiarity with older adults it encounters may enable it to spot irregular
transactions, account activity, or behavior. This Interagency Guide is designed to help financial institutions clarify the
applicability of privacy provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) to reporting
suspected financial exploitation of older adults.
