Effective: 1 March 2026
Zavara Holdings LLC ("Zavara") is committed to the prevention of money laundering and the combating of terrorist financing. Although Zavara operates as a software consultancy and does not handle, custody or transmit client funds, we maintain robust anti-money laundering ("AML") procedures as part of our commitment to ethical business conduct and regulatory compliance.
This policy applies to all officers, employees and contractors of Zavara. It governs our approach to client due diligence, risk assessment and the reporting of suspicious activity in connection with our advisory and software development services.
Before entering into an advisory or development engagement, Zavara conducts appropriate due diligence on prospective clients. This includes:
Enhanced due diligence is applied where the client is assessed as presenting a higher risk, including clients based in jurisdictions identified as high-risk by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
Zavara maintains a risk-based approach to AML. We assess the money laundering and terrorist financing risks associated with each client relationship, considering factors such as:
We conduct ongoing monitoring of client relationships to ensure that engagements remain consistent with our understanding of the client's business. This includes periodic review of client information and awareness of any changes in the client's risk profile.
All personnel are required to report any knowledge or suspicion of money laundering or terrorist financing to the designated Compliance Officer. Where appropriate, reports will be filed with the relevant authorities in accordance with applicable law.
Zavara strictly prohibits "tipping off" — informing any person that a suspicious activity report has been or may be filed.
Zavara retains all KYC documentation, transaction records and correspondence related to client due diligence for a minimum of five years following the conclusion of the business relationship, or longer if required by law.
All Zavara personnel receive AML awareness training upon joining and periodically thereafter. Training covers the recognition of suspicious activity, reporting obligations and the consequences of non-compliance.
Zavara does not provide services to individuals or entities that are subject to sanctions imposed by the United Nations, the United States (OFAC), the European Union or other relevant jurisdictions. Sanctions screening is conducted as part of the KYC process and on an ongoing basis.
