Anti-Money Laundering Services

Businesses operating in the UAE are required to comply with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations set out by the UAE government. These regulations aim at preventing and detect illegal activities such as money laundering, terrorism financing, and the concealment of criminal proceeds.

 

These laws apply to:  

  • Banks and financial institutions
  • “Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions” (DNFBPs) such as real estate brokers, dealers in precious metals or stones, accountants and auditors, lawyers and legal professions, and company formation agents.

 

Non-compliance with AML regulations in the UAE can cost your business far more than a fine. Companies that fail to meet Anti-Money Laundering obligations face heavy financial penalties which can reach several million dirhams, license suspension, and serious reputational damage as regulators are tightening their control.

 

We offer a comprehensive range of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) services designed to keep your business fully compliant with regulatory requirements. We assist with GoAML registration and reporting, provide the expertise of an outsourced AML Compliance Officer, and conduct thorough client screening and due diligence to identify and manage risks. In addition, we develop tailored AML policies and procedures aligned with both local and international standards. Our team is committed to helping your business mitigate risk and maintain compliance.
