Eligible Assets must meet Eligibility Criteria, as verified by an independent 3rd party verification agent. Eligible Assets are submitted to Anzen by Eligible Sponsors that have been approved by Anzen's Credit Committee. The Credit Committee also approves the Eligibility Criteria in order to maintain benchmark standards for all collateral assets, rather than approving transactions on a deal by deal basis. In this structure, USDz holders are provided comfort by a independent 3rd party verification agent that all Eligible Assets meet the Eligibility Criteria that is publicly disclosed and approved by the Credit Committee. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
