Momentum OTC · Dubai, UAE

OTC execution.
Integrated with
your systems.

Momentum combines client requests, trading, treasury and transaction records in a working platform. We are developing APIs that connect this workflow directly to clients’ finance, ERP and accounting systems.

Working platform. Client integration and regulatory preparation in progress.

02 /Client integration programme

Connect transactions
to your accounting.

The API programme will let businesses submit and track OTC requests from their own systems, then retrieve statements and reports as structured JSON. Excel, PDF and CSV outputs will support the same reporting workflow.

01

Requests from your existing systems

Submit transaction instructions through API, retain your own business references and follow the request through quotation, execution and settlement.

02

Records your finance team can use

Retrieve transaction records, statements and reports in JSON for automated processing. Use Excel, PDF or CSV when a file-based workflow is required.

03

Less re-entry and manual reconciliation

Map client references to transaction and payment records. Feed the resulting data into your finance systems to reduce spreadsheet preparation, repeated data entry and manual accounting work.

03 /Screening and customer due diligence

Deeper checks.
Less manual handling.

We are building automated wallet screening and risk-based customer review into the transaction workflow. The aim is to shorten routine processing while examining wallet exposure, ownership and transaction context in greater depth.

VARA compliance framework
Workflow under development

Collect data → screen → review exceptions → approve → monitor.
Automation will handle collection and screening steps. Flagged cases will be routed to accountable reviewers, with findings and decisions retained in the transaction record.

Automated wallet screening

In progress

The planned blockchain-analytics integration will examine wallet history, transaction links, direct and indirect exposure to high-risk counterparties, sanctions indicators and suspicious fund-flow patterns. Results will inform transaction review and ongoing monitoring.

KYC / KYB policies

In progress

Policies are being developed to meet applicable VARA AML/CFT requirements: identity and beneficial-owner verification, corporate ownership, the purpose of the relationship, source-of-funds review and enhanced due diligence where required.

Faster routine processing

Development focus

Collect documents and transaction data once, route checks within the same workflow and reuse valid records where policy permits. This reduces repeated requests, hand-offs and manual preparation without bypassing review requirements.

Evidence linked to the transaction

Operational core

Client records, approval decisions, payment references and execution events remain connected. Screening results will extend this record and support structured reporting through the client integration layer.

04 /Transaction controls

A defined process
from request to settlement.

Client-facing work, liquidity decisions and payment execution use the same transaction context. Each stage has an owner and a recorded outcome.

01

Request and instructions

The client submits the direction, amount and settlement requirements. The request and its conversation remain linked to the client record.

02

Checks and quotation

Client and beneficiary checks precede execution. The quotation records the rate, final amounts and settlement terms for confirmation.

03

Liquidity and receipt

Trading controls cover available own liquidity and partner execution. Treasury confirms incoming funds; client funds are accounted for separately from the own trading book.

04

Settlement and records

Execution is confirmed against payment evidence. Transaction records support reconciliation and reporting, with external API access being developed for clients’ finance systems.

05 /Development and licensing

Development and
licensing timeline.

The operational platform is available for testing. Client integration, screening implementation and regulatory preparation are the current workstreams.

01

Platform development

Client and staff workspaces, request and quotation handling, trading controls, treasury execution and reporting. Ongoing testing and refinement of the operational workflow.

In progress
02

Integration and screening

Client APIs for requests and JSON reporting, Excel/PDF/CSV export coverage, banking and liquidity connections, automated wallet screening and KYC/KYB procedures.

In progress
