AML Compliance
Anti-Money Laundering compliance to meet UAE regulatory standards.
Many UAE businesses — not just financial institutions — fall under AML/CFT obligations, including certain DNFBPs (designated non-financial businesses and professions) such as real estate agents, dealers in precious metals, and corporate service providers. Non-compliance carries serious regulatory risk.
We help you understand whether your business is in scope, and if so, build the risk assessments, policies, and reporting processes needed to meet CBUAE and FTA requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my business need to comply with AML regulations?
If you're a designated non-financial business or profession (DNFBP) — including certain real estate, precious metals, and corporate service activities — you likely fall in scope. We can confirm your specific position.
What is goAML registration?
It's the UAE's platform for suspicious transaction reporting. In-scope businesses must register and use it to meet their reporting obligations.
Do I need a dedicated compliance officer?
Many in-scope businesses are required to appoint one. We can support training and ongoing guidance for that role, even if it's held internally.
