Compliance
Compliance is how we trade
We verify before we trade. Compliance checks run through every stage of a transaction, from first introduction to final settlement.
Counterparty due diligence
Before entering any commercial relationship we identify and verify our counterparties: corporate documents, ownership structure and ultimate beneficial owners. If beneficial ownership can't be established, the relationship ends there.
Sanctions & AML screening
Counterparties, vessels and cargo routes are screened against applicable international sanctions lists (including UN, EU, OFAC and UK) before and during a transaction. We apply anti-money-laundering principles consistent with U.A.E. regulations and international best practice.
Documentary standards
Every transaction is supported by a complete documentary trail: contracts, invoices, transport and inspection documents, certificates of origin. Where the deal calls for it we work through documentary credits, standby letters of credit and bank guarantees.
Licensed scope only
We operate strictly within the activities authorised by our business license No. 2648609.01 issued in Meydan Free Zone, Dubai. Corporate documents and the full license are available to banks and partners on request.
Quality & inspection
For physical cargo we rely on independent surveyors (SGS, Bureau Veritas or equivalent) for quality and quantity determination at loading and discharge.
Confidentiality
Commercial information entrusted to us by partners is handled with strict confidentiality and shared only as required to execute the transaction or comply with the law.
