Anti-Bribery & Corruption Policy Statement

UPDATED SEPTEMBER 2025

At MANTRA Finance FZE (“MANTRA Finance”), our reputation is built on trust, integrity, and accountability. We are steadfast in our commitment to conducting all business activities ethically and honestly.

Bribery is the act of offering, giving, promising, asking for, or accepting something of value to improperly influence a decision or action. Corruption is the abuse of a position of trust to gain a personal or business advantage.

MANTRA Finance is committed to:

A reportable concern involves any suspected misconduct, malpractice, or unethical behavior that could harm MANTRA Finance, our clients, our employees, or the public. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Maintaining a zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption in any form.

  • Acting professionally, fairly, and with integrity in all business dealings and relationships, wherever we operate.

  • Upholding all applicable anti-bribery and corruption laws and regulations in the jurisdictions where we conduct business, including the rules set forth by Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA).

  • Ensuring all our board members, employees, and associated persons understand their responsibility to prevent, detect, and deter bribery and corruption.

  • Providing clear information and regular training to our team to help them identify and address potential risks.

  • Clearly communicating our zero-tolerance policy to all suppliers, contractors, business partners, and other third parties at the start of our business relationships.

This policy applies to all individuals working for or on behalf of MANTRA Finance, including employees (permanent, temporary, or fixed-term), officers, board directors, contractors, consultants, and any other associated persons. Every individual has a personal responsibility to conduct our business activities ethically and in full compliance with the law.
