Who needs AML screening?

AML obligations apply to a wide range of businesses in the UAE and internationally. If you deal with clients, transactions, or assets — you likely have a screening obligation.

🏦

Banks & Financial Institutions

Subject to the strictest AML obligations. Required to screen all customers at onboarding, perform ongoing due diligence, and file Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs).

💳

Payment & Fintech Companies

PSPs, e-money institutions, and digital wallet providers are subject to the same customer screening requirements as traditional financial institutions.

Virtual Asset Service Providers

Crypto exchanges, custodians, and DeFi platforms must screen users and transaction counterparties. FATF Travel Rule compliance requires counterparty identification.

🏠

Real Estate & Property

Agents, developers, and brokers must screen buyers, sellers, and investors. Real estate is a high-risk sector for money laundering — particularly in the UAE market.

⚖️

Law & Accounting Firms

DNFBPs (Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions) including lawyers and accountants must perform customer due diligence when managing client funds or assets.

💎

Dealers in Precious Metals

Gold, diamond, and jewellery traders face AML obligations when conducting cash transactions above AED 55,000. Screening is essential for high-value buyers and suppliers.

🏢

Corporate Service Providers

Registered agents, company formation firms, and nominee directors must screen beneficial owners, directors, and shareholders of entities they form or administer.

🛡️

Insurance Companies

Life insurance and investment-linked policies trigger AML obligations. Insurers must screen policyholders, beneficiaries, and third-party payers at onboarding and during the policy life.

🔗

Free Zone & Holding Companies

Companies in DIFC, ADGM, and other UAE free zones are subject to their own regulatory frameworks with equivalent AML screening requirements for clients and counterparties.

⚠️

REGULATORY CONTEXT — UAE AML FRAMEWORK

The UAE's AML regime is governed by Federal Decree-Law No. 10 of 2025 and its executive regulations, enforced by the CBUAE, SCA, and relevant free zone authorities. Following FATF mutual evaluation recommendations, UAE authorities have significantly increased enforcement activity. Non-compliance can result in fines, licence suspension, and criminal liability for senior management. Sentinel is designed to support — though not substitute — your firm's compliance obligations.
