AML & Compliance Statement

1. Our status

METATRIA L.L.C-FZ is a company licensed in Meydan Free Zone, Dubai (licence No. 2651466.01). Because we provide company-formation, corporate and accounting services, we are a designated non-financial business and profession (DNFBP) supervised under the anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorist-financing framework of the United Arab Emirates. We are registered with the national financial intelligence system (goAML) and we have a Compliance Officer (MLRO) responsible for these duties.

2. What this means for you as a client

• We verify every client before we act. We ask for identity documents, information about the beneficial owner, the purpose of the engagement and the source of funds, and we keep this information current while we work together.
• We issue payment details and payment links only after that verification is complete. A payment made before it is complete does not start the work.
• We screen clients, beneficial owners and payers against the sanctions lists applicable in the United Arab Emirates, before the engagement and periodically during it.
• We accept payment only from the client named in the quote, or from a third party approved by us in writing in advance after verification.
• We do not accept cash and we do not accept virtual assets.
• We keep records for at least five years after the engagement ends, as the law requires.

3. What we will not do

We do not provide nominee shareholders, nominee directors or nominee beneficial owners. We do not help structure a transaction so as to conceal its purpose, its parties or the origin of funds. We do not use closed or leaked databases when we check a counterparty — only public and licensed sources. We decline, or stop, an engagement where the law requires us to, and where the law prohibits us from giving the reason, we cannot give it.

4. Reporting

Where the law requires us to report a matter to the competent authorities, we do so. The law may prohibit us from informing the client that a report has been made, and in that case we comply with the law.

5. Your own obligations

If you are setting up or running a company in the United Arab Emirates, the same framework applies to you: registration where your activity requires it, client verification, record-keeping and reporting. Helping clients build that perimeter is one of our services — and building it for you does not transfer your responsibility to us: the obligations remain those of your own company and its officers.
