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 vendor and does not handle, custody or transmit counterparty 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 counterparty due diligence, risk assessment and the reporting of suspicious activity in connection with our software licensing operations.
Before entering into a software licence engagement, Zavara conducts appropriate due diligence on prospective counterparties. This includes:
Enhanced due diligence is applied where the counterparty is assessed as presenting a higher risk, including counterparties 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 counterparty relationship, considering factors such as:
We conduct ongoing monitoring of counterparty relationships to ensure that engagements remain consistent with our understanding of the counterparty's business. This includes periodic review of counterparty information and awareness of any changes in the counterparty'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 counterparty 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 software or services to individuals or entities that are subject to sanctions imposed by the United Nations, the United States (OFAC), the European Union, HM Treasury or other relevant jurisdictions. Sanctions screening is conducted as part of the KYC process and on an ongoing basis.
