A compliance-first operating model built for institutional counterparties, commodity finance banks, and regulated market participants.
Basrah Energy FZE was built from the ground up with compliance as a core operational requirement — not a checkbox. We understand that in the petroleum trading industry, the integrity of your counterparty is as important as the price of the cargo.
Our compliance framework is designed to meet the due diligence expectations of tier-1 commodity finance banks, institutional buyers, and regulated market participants in the EU, UK, and UAE. We maintain full documentation readiness at all times.
We conduct rigorous screening against all applicable international sanctions regimes prior to any transaction, including:
We do not trade with sanctioned entities, jurisdictions, or vessels. All counterparties are screened prior to onboarding and on a periodic basis.
Our Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing policy covers all aspects of the trading relationship from initial enquiry through to payment settlement. The policy is reviewed annually and available to qualified counterparties.
We apply a structured Know Your Customer (KYC) and Know Your Business (KYB) process to all new counterparties. Our standard onboarding documentation package includes:
We apply the same standards to ourselves and are KYC-ready — our full documentation package can be provided to any qualified counterparty upon request.
