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.

01 /Working software

Requests, treasury and reporting.
Already in the platform.

Client work, treasury controls and team oversight share the same operational records. Explore three views of the working system below, or open the full walkthrough for the details. These are actual application screens with demonstration data.

Operational core available

Client & manager

The request.
Its conversation.
Its record.

Instructions, quotations and transaction updates stay together. The client and manager work from the same request context.

  • Conversations linked to requests
  • Rates and settlement instructions

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
with 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 /Automating OTC execution

A quotation should not
take a chain of calls.

An OTC transaction often starts with a message or a call, followed by a wait for a reply, rate negotiation and another round of checks with liquidity providers. Clients repeat the process to find a workable price. We are automating that quotation cycle.

01

One request, complete instructions

The client submits the amount, direction and settlement requirements through the platform or the planned API. The same instructions feed pricing, checks and settlement, reducing repeated questions and manual re-entry.

02

A trading engine behind the quote

We have developed the core pricing engine. As liquidity-provider (LP) feeds are connected, it will monitor available rates and volumes, compare them with the desk’s own liquidity and calculate the best executable offer within its fees, inventory and risk limits.

03

A complete quotation to confirm

The client sees the rate, fee, net settlement amount and quote expiry together. Partner-backed prices become firm only after the partner confirms and reserves the volume. Routine quotation will not require a fresh negotiation between the client, a manager and each LP.

04

A dark-factory approach to routine work

Our operating model puts repeatable pricing, routing, checks and record preparation into automated workflows. Staff handle exceptions, flagged risk and required approvals. Confirmed receipts, settlement evidence and reporting stay linked to the transaction.

The pricing core is available in the development platform. Live LP feeds and external execution connections are in development.

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
03

IDQ submission
& receiving ATI

Submit the Initial Disclosure Questionnaire (IDQ) through DET or the relevant Free Zone, with the business plan, ownership and management information. Progress the review and supporting documentation toward Approval to Incorporate (ATI).

Starting 19 Oct 2026

Full licence
& operational launch

Following ATI, complete incorporation and operational setup, submit the full VASP licence application and address review requirements. Begin live services after the licence and operational conditions are satisfied.

Subject to authorisation

ATI supports incorporation and operational setup; it does not authorise virtual-asset services. The current portal is a controlled development environment with test transactions. Live services are subject to licensing and applicable operational conditions. VARA licensing process
