What a new licensee needs on day one

The systems a regulated firm runs on, already working together.

Licensed where you choose

DIFC, ADGM, onshore UAE, Saudi Arabia, Cyprus, the UK, Mauritius and more: one platform, configured for each regulator.

See regulatory coverage

Onboarding with KYC/AML

Digital onboarding, document capture, automated KYC and AML screening, suitability scoring and maker-checker approval.

See client onboarding

Controls built into every order

Buying power, limits, restricted lists and exposure caps checked at entry, with surveillance, AML and maker-checker on the same data.

See risk and compliance

Regulatory reporting from the start

Regulator filings, MiFID/EMIR-style trade reporting, FATCA/CRS and client statements from one book of record, with a full audit trail.

See reporting

Hosted in your jurisdiction

Cloud SaaS, on-premise in your own data centre, or hybrid, so local data-residency rules shape the deployment.

See hosting options

Digital-asset licences too

Clients operate under Dubai's VARA, the FSRA's virtual-asset framework in ADGM and the EU's MiCA regulation.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with firms setting up in DIFC and ADGM?

Yes. ZagTrader clients operate under the DFSA in DIFC and the FSRA in ADGM, and firms setting up in both centres run onboarding, trading, controls and reporting on the platform from their first day.

We are licensed outside the Gulf. Is ZagTrader for us?

Yes. Clients operate under regulators including CySEC in Cyprus, the FCA in the UK, the ASF in Romania and the FSC in Mauritius, as well as across the GCC and Asia. The platform is configured for each regulator's rules, filings and statements.

Can the platform run in our own jurisdiction?

Yes. Run it as cloud SaaS, on-premise in your own data centre, or hybrid, so the deployment follows your regulator's data-residency rules.

How long does it take to go live?

Implementations typically take 2 to 6 months, depending on scope. Many firms start with onboarding, core trading and the back office, then add products and markets.

How is it priced for a new firm?

By the modules you choose, the number of users and the deployment model: a subscription for cloud deployments, or a licence for on-premise installations.
