KEZAD Eligibility & Rules
The eligibility & rules picture at KEZAD, specifically: who can register, activity rules and restrictions — with the numbers and sequence we use on live files.
Who can register, and under what rules
KEZAD accepts individual and corporate shareholders from most jurisdictions with standard KYC. The gate is the activity list — your exact wording must appear on it — plus external approvals for regulated lines — as every KEZAD: Eligibility & Rules Explained (2026) file demonstrates.
Restrictions worth knowing: sanctioned jurisdictions face enhanced screening, some activities are reserved or capped, and name rules exclude religious and governmental references — as every KEZAD: Eligibility & Rules Explained (2026) file demonstrates. We pre-clear all three before any fee is paid.
