Effective Customer Due Diligence is the foundation of every Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance framework in the UAE. Under the regulations issued by the Ministry of Economy (MoE), the Central Bank, the FIU, and various UAE free zones, businesses must verify customer identities, assess risks, and document all due diligence measures to prevent money laundering and financial crime.
SOKRAB UAE provides comprehensive CDD and Risk Assessment services that help Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs) — including gold and jewellery traders, real estate brokers, corporate service providers, accountants, consultants, and free zone entities — comply with UAE AML requirements while maintaining smooth business operations.
Our team ensures your onboarding process, documentation, screening procedures, and ongoing monitoring fully align with UAE laws and GoAML expectations, reducing regulatory risks and supporting safe, compliant business practices.
Key Features of Our CDD & Risk Assessment Services
Customer Identification & Verification (KYC) : We assist clients in implementing robust Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures, including verification of Emirates IDs, passports, trade licenses, UBO declarations, and relevant business documents. All information is reviewed for completeness, accuracy, and authenticity in line with UAE AML requirements.
Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) for High-Risk Clients : High-risk customers — such as politically exposed persons (PEPs), cross-border clients, high-value traders, and complex ownership structures — require deeper scrutiny. SOKRAB UAE performs enhanced checks, source-of-funds reviews, and additional verifications to ensure full compliance.
Documentation & Record Keeping for GoAML : SOKRAB UAE ensures all CDD documentation is properly maintained, indexed, and stored in accordance with record-keeping requirements. We prepare your files in a format that is audit-ready, regulator-ready, and fully aligned with GoAML expectations.
