Compliance is the foundation of every transaction.
We apply know-your-customer, anti-money-laundering, sanctions and responsible sourcing controls to every counterparty, cargo and payment.
Clean transactions, verified counterparties.
If a transaction cannot pass compliance, it does not proceed. There are no exceptions.
International trade and finance depend on trust between counterparties, banks and regulators. We protect that trust by applying consistent controls before any commercial terms are agreed.
As a company registered in Dubai, we operate under the laws of the United Arab Emirates, including Federal Decree-Law No. 20 of 2018 on anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism. Because our counterparties and banks are international, we also align our screening with the sanctions regimes of the United Nations, the European Union, the United Kingdom and the United States.
How we screen every transaction.
Know your customer
Verification of company registration, beneficial ownership, directors and authorised signatories for every counterparty.
Anti-money laundering
Source of funds, transaction rationale and payment flows reviewed, with escalation of any unusual pattern.
Sanctions screening
Parties, vessels, ports, origins and routes screened against UN, EU, UK and US OFAC lists.
Anti-bribery and corruption
Zero tolerance for bribery, facilitation payments and undisclosed commissions.
Responsible sourcing
Origin due diligence aligned with the OECD guidance for responsible mineral supply chains and EU deforestation rules for agricultural products.
Documentary control
Shipping, inspection and title documents verified against the contract before payment is released.
