Zand has redefined the standards of digital asset security by becoming the first bank in the UAE to offer institutional-grade digital custody services under an official banking license. Designed specifically for corporate and institutional clients, Zand’s custody platform is not just a product—it’s a regulatory-compliant, security-first foundation for the future of digital asset management.
At the core of Zand’s custody offering is the Zand Vault, a secure cold wallet system operated with tamper-resistant Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) based in the UAE. These HSMs meet FIPS 140-3 standards, ensuring that private keys are protected under the strictest global protocols. With dynamic firewall policies, four-eye transaction approvals, and identity-based access controls, Zand Vault sets a new benchmark in asset protection.
Supporting leading blockchains including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, and more, Zand provides flexible, multi-network custody for institutions that manage diverse crypto portfolios. Assets are held in segregated wallets, with bankruptcy remoteness built into the structure to safeguard client ownership, regardless of any external risks.
Zand’s custody framework is underpinned by strict regulatory oversight: digital asset services are regulated by VARA (Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority), while traditional banking functions are licensed by the CBUAE (Central Bank of the UAE). The platform includes full compliance with KYT (Know Your Transaction), real-time fraud monitoring, and adherence to the Travel Rule.
What sets Zand apart is its ability to combine the trust of a fully licensed bank with the innovation of a forward-thinking digital custodian. This makes Zand the ideal partner for institutions seeking a secure, transparent, and compliant entry into the digital asset space.
