Frequently Asked Questions

What is AML compliance?

AML compliance refers to the policies, procedures, and controls businesses implement to help prevent money laundering and comply with applicable UAE regulations.

AML obligations apply to financial institutions and designated non-financial businesses and professions (DNFBPs), depending on the nature of their activities and regulatory requirements.

An AML programme may include business risk assessments, customer due diligence (CDD), internal policies, record keeping, reporting obligations, staff training, and ongoing monitoring.

Customer due diligence (CDD) involves verifying customer identities, understanding the nature of business relationships, and assessing potential money laundering risks as part of an organisation’s AML obligations.

AML compliance helps businesses meet regulatory obligations, reduce financial crime risks, strengthen governance, and maintain confidence among regulators, customers, and stakeholders.

Depending on the circumstances, businesses may face regulatory action, operational restrictions, and significant financial penalties under applicable UAE legislation.
