Checklist for filing STR and SAR on goAML portal under UAE AML Laws

It is essential to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the Suspicious Transaction Report (STR) and Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) to be filed with FIU through the goAML portal. Under Article 18 of Federal Decree-Law No. 10 of 2025, read with Articles 17 to 19 of Cabinet Resolution No. 134 of 2025, a regulated entity that suspects a transaction is linked to a crime must file a report with the UAE Financial Intelligence Unit through the goAML portal without delay, and must not tip off the customer. The quality of the STR/SAR reported indicates the level of AML/CFT compliance framework deployed by the Company.
