eBook on Decoding AML Regulations: UAE Federal Law vs. DIFC and ADGM Rulebooks
Complying with AML regulations in the UAE isn’t a simple, one-size-fits-all process.
In UAE, Federal Decree by Law No. (10) of 2025 sets the overall framework for anti-money laundering (AML). However, jurisdiction-specific regulations such as those outlined in the DIFC and ADGM rulebooks introduce additional requirements. As a result, your compliance obligations may vary depending on where your business operates. These differences typically arise in areas such as:
- The supervisory authorities and list of DNFBPs
- Difference in record-keeping rules and annual return filings
It is important to have understanding of how AML law works in different jurisdictions so that compliance tasks like CDD, assessing risks, doing record-keeping and reporting obligations can be complied with, thereby helping businesses stay complaint and avoiding ML/TF threats.
Explore our eBook for a clear, practical guide to AML regulations in the UAE. It breaks down the Federal Law, DIFC, and ADGM rulebooks, and offers useful insights on risk-based approaches, customer due diligence, and more helping you and your team stay compliant and manage financial crime risks effectively.
