Where Zand Bank publishes directly. Each link is checked for the correct platform and profile format.
A tick means the link resolves to a valid company profile URL on that platform. It does not confirm the account is operated by Zand Bank — that requires a signal only the platform or the company can give, so DXBi does not claim it.

Every item links back to its original source. Announcements are only marked as coming from Zand Bank when the link resolves to the company's own domain.
