The UAE Central Bank issued over AED 370 million in AML-related fines in 2025 alone. Failures in customer monitoring accounted for the majority. Under Federal Decree-Law No. 10/2025, Ongoing Due Diligence isn’t optional — it’s a legal obligation. Is your review cycle risk-calibrated? ↓

✅ High-risk customers: every 6 months
✅ Medium-risk: annually
✅ Low-risk: every 2–3 years

Most businesses think sanctions screening is just another compliance checkbox.

Until a missed match becomes:
• a frozen transaction
• a regulatory issue
• or a serious reputational risk.

Weak sanctions screening doesn’t always look obvious.
Sometimes it hides in:

* outdated databases
* weak matching logic
* delayed escalation processes
* manual reviews with no consistency

Under UAE Cabinet Decision No. 74 of 2020, businesses are expected to implement effective sanctions screening measures — not just perform basic checks.

Because in compliance, “almost compliant” is still a risk.

If your screening process hasn’t been reviewed in a while, now is the time.
