Direct answers
Who operates InvestArab?
InvestArab is the registered trade name and trademark of Tokinvest DMCC (DMCC-928046), the entity that operates investarab.com and tokinvest.capital. It is one entity, not two.
Is InvestArab licensed?
Yes. Tokinvest DMCC holds Dubai VARA licence VL/2024/12/004 for Broker-Dealer Services and Category 1 VA Issuance, issued 30 December 2024 and active on the public register. The licence does not include standalone custody services.
Is InvestArab authorised in Saudi Arabia?
No Saudi licence is claimed. The operative authorisation is the Dubai VARA licence, and customers across the GCC use the platform.
What do customers say?
A claimed Trustpilot profile shows 3.7 out of 5 from a single review, and the ScamAdviser assessment is mixed. The sample is small; neither proves solvency or asset safety.
Is there evidence that withdrawals actually complete?
Yes. Aggregate completed-withdrawal counts and median request-to-completion time are published from the transaction ledger on this page and in trust.json; delivery after approval for external sends above 10 USDT is normally 2-3 hours.
What covers balances if the licence excludes custody?
Balances are operationally held by the operator and recorded in an internal ledger; withdrawals are paid from the on-platform balance. The licence covers broker-dealer services and Category 1 issuance and does not grant a standalone custody licence.
How can I verify this myself?
Open the VARA public register and confirm the licence and activities, then check the published DNS TXT attestation binding the domain to the entity and read the published entity statement. Do not rely on the website alone.
How fast are withdrawals?
External sends above 10 USDT are normally delivered within 2-3 hours; smaller amounts usually within minutes. Withdrawal limits are fixed by tier, with one single-use boost from a card deposit.
Are the limits strict?
Yes, deliberately fixed inside our AML/CFT transfer controls, set with reference to GCC central-bank transfer expectations. The only lifetime increase is one successful card deposit, which makes the deposited amount withdrawable once.
Are reserves audited?
No independent reserve or custody attestation is published. Published: on-chain AUSD contract records with source verification, plus entity and licence records. Not published: a reserve attestation, documented asset segregation and a security audit.
Is an external-wallet payment ever required to release a balance?
No. InvestArab never asks you to send crypto to an external wallet to unlock a withdrawal, clear a hold, pay fees or pay tax. Withdrawals are paid from the on-platform balance.
Domain attestation records (DNS TXT)
These records bind the domain to the licensed entity. The first proves control of the platform domain; the second is published from the licensed company domain. Both are pending publication and checkable over DoH.
_investarab-verification.investarab.com TXT "investarab-domain-verification; domain=investarab.com"
_investarab-verification.tokinvest.capital TXT "investarab-domain-verification; domain=investarab.com; entity=Tokinvest DMCC; licence=VL/2024/12/004"
A matching record proves DNS control only, not corporate authority, custody or reserves. domain-attestation.json
