    Your Safety and Security at Stake

    At Stake, we prioritize trust, security, and safety in managing your real estate investments. As a leading global digital real estate platform, we implement rigorous security measures and adhere to strict regulations.

    This blog post outlines our robust practices to protect your investments and provide peace of mind.

    How Regulation & Compliance Help In Protecting Your Real Estate Investments

    • Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA): Stake is regulated by the DFSA, ensuring we operate with integrity, transparency, and accountability. This regulation means your assets are securely held in separate Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) within the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), providing an added layer of protection against financial discrepancies.
    • Segregation of Assets: Your investments are held separately from Stake’s operational funds in protected holding companies, AKA SPVs. This segregation safeguards your investments, even if Stake faces financial challenges.

    Proof of Ownership

    • Title Deeds and Share Certificates: Investment through Stake grants you a Title Deed from the Dubai Land Department (DLD) and Share Certificates in your name. These documents are proof of your ownership, registered and verifiable through the DIFC’s Public Register.
    • Debt-Free SPVs:

      The SPVs holding your investments are free of any debts or legal claims, ensuring your assets are protected from creditors.

    Business Continuity

    • DFSA-Regulated Business Cessation Plan: We have a plan approved by the DFSA to protect your investments if Stake ceases operations. This plan involves transferring the management of SPVs to a reliable service provider, overseen by the DFSA to minimize disruption.

    Account Security Practices

    • Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): We employ 2FA to add an extra security layer to your account, requiring both your password and a unique verification code.
    • Biometric Authentication: Enhancements in our security include biometric verification, such as fingerprint and facial recognition, ensuring that access to your account is both secure and user-friendly.

    Your Trust, Our Priority

    • Commitment to Excellence: Our commitment to safeguarding your investments is reflected in our strict adherence to DFSA regulations and our proactive approach to implementing advanced security measures.

    Ending Note:

    Investing in real estate with Stake means having a partner committed to protecting your interests. Our rigorous adherence to regulations and continuous enhancement of security measures ensures that your real estate investments are safe and your future is secure.
