Background

Qianza LTD closes out the three UK-registered companies OFAC designated on 7 August 2026, joining Shuqun LTD and Sanovo LTD in the same shadow-banking round.

Qianza's listing is likewise bare: a country, a date, membership of the network, and nothing more specific from Treasury. The gazette entry itself carries no legible text, so nothing beyond the press release confirms the designation in a searchable form.
