Our database is continuously updated with entries from government sanctions bodies, law enforcement agencies, regulatory authorities, and international organisations — giving your team a single, comprehensive view.
All entries are normalised for consistent matching: names, aliases, dates of birth, nationalities, and identifier numbers are all indexed and fuzzy-searchable.
Sentinel fits into your existing KYC and onboarding processes without requiring process overhauls.
Enter the individual or entity's name, nationality, country, industry, and any identifiers. Sentinel supports both individual and corporate screening with distinct field sets for each.
Sentinel simultaneously queries the sanctions database using fuzzy matching and retrieves adverse media from global intelligence feeds. Results arrive in under 3 seconds with confidence scores for each match.
Analysts review hits and assign an initial determination. Cases with sanctions hits or adverse media are escalated to EDD (Enhanced Due Diligence) status. Risk level is automatically calculated based on results and country risk.
Senior compliance officers (MLROs) conduct a formal review for EDD cases. They select the specific evidence — sanctions entries or adverse media articles — that justify the decision, add documented findings, and formally mark the case.
Export a fully formatted PDF report with one click. Reports include the subject profile, all screening results, match details, risk level determination, MLRO decision, and selected evidence — ready for regulatory inspection or file archiving.
Optionally place the subject on continuous monitoring. Sentinel re-screens them at your chosen frequency and automatically updates the case if their status changes — ensuring your due diligence never expires.
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.
Subject to the strictest AML obligations. Required to screen all customers at onboarding, perform ongoing due diligence, and file Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs).
PSPs, e-money institutions, and digital wallet providers are subject to the same customer screening requirements as traditional financial institutions.
Crypto exchanges, custodians, and DeFi platforms must screen users and transaction counterparties. FATF Travel Rule compliance requires counterparty identification.
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.
DNFBPs (Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions) including lawyers and accountants must perform customer due diligence when managing client funds or assets.
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.
Registered agents, company formation firms, and nominee directors must screen beneficial owners, directors, and shareholders of entities they form or administer.
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.
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.
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.
