Zarattini International

What Zarattini International does

Zarattini International Ltd is a Malta-based, privately held financial services firm operating as a regulated depositary and execution services provider for alternative investment funds. Its core offering comprises two product lines: a depositary service providing safekeeping for a full range of financial instruments with customised solutions across alternative asset classes, and an execution service delivering dedicated, transparent trade execution for institutional clients. The company is headquartered at 56 Europa Centre, Saint Anne Street, Floriana, Malta, and established a new presence in Luxembourg in October 2024, extending its operational footprint into a second EU jurisdiction.

The business model combines recurring depositary safekeeping fees — likely charged as a percentage of assets under custody or as fixed periodic fees — with transaction-based execution fees, delivered through direct enterprise sales relationships with alternative investment fund managers. Distribution is direct B2B, supported by a corporate website and an e-banking client portal hosted at e-banking.zarattinibank.ch. The underlying technology stack is described generically as financial services infrastructure supporting depositary and execution workflows; no proprietary technology assets, patents, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed. The company operates with 11–50 employees and has no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or ownership investors.

In 2025 the company completed a visual rebrand while maintaining continuity of its service offering. Operating geographies are limited to Malta and Luxembourg, and there are no disclosed customer logos, revenue figures, or AUM under custody, leaving significant data gaps for due diligence. The company's strategic posture is that of a niche, regulated depositary expanding cautiously within the EU alternative funds market.
