Why businesses work with nAlyze on AML?
Most DNFBPs discover their AML obligations after a licence renewal query or an inspection notice. By then the framework has to be built retrospectively, which is both harder and more visible.
Avoid Penalties
Fines for non-compliance range from AED 50,000 to AED 5 million, with possible licence suspension. We make sure your registration and reporting are in place before that becomes a risk.
Built for Your Business
Generic policies don’t hold up under review. We build your AML framework around your actual clients, transactions, and risk exposure.
Audit-Ready
Your policies, screening records, and reports are maintained in a way that’s ready for inspection at any time.
Ongoing, Not One-Time
AML compliance requires periodic reporting and reviews – we manage this on an ongoing basis, not just at registration.
Who this is for?
Real estate brokers, agents, and developers
Accounting, audit, and corporate service firms
Dealers in precious metals, stones, or luxury goods
Virtual asset service providers
Any DNFBP needing goAML registration
Don't wait for an inspection to find out you're non-compliant.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is goAML?
goAML is the online platform operated by the UAE’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) for registering DNFBPs and filing suspicious transaction reports.
How do I know if my business is a DNFBP?
DNFBPs include real estate brokers, accountants and auditors, corporate service providers, precious metals dealers, virtual asset service providers, and certain law firms, as defined under Cabinet Decision No. 10 of 2019. We assess this as part of our review.
What happens if I don't register?
Non-compliant businesses face fines ranging from AED 50,000 to AED 5 million, regulatory audits, and potential licence suspension.
Do I need to file reports even if nothing suspicious happens?
Yes, periodic compliance reporting is required regardless, alongside reporting any suspicious activity as and when it occurs.
How long do AML records need to be kept?
Records must be maintained for a minimum of five years.
How do I complete goAML registration?
Registration runs through the FIU’s goAML platform and requires a nominated Compliance Officer, your trade licence and ownership documentation, and details of your business activity. Some supervisory authorities require an additional registration alongside it.
What is the difference between goAML registration and AML compliance?
Registration creates your account on the reporting platform. AML compliance is the framework behind it – risk assessment, policies, due diligence, screening, monitoring, training, and record-keeping. Registration without the framework fails inspection.
Who can be appointed as Compliance Officer?
The Compliance Officer must be an appropriately positioned individual with the authority and knowledge to carry out the role. For smaller DNFBPs this is often an owner or senior manager, supported externally where in-house expertise is limited.
We registered on goAML but haven’t filed anything. Are we compliant?
Probably not. Certain reporting obligations fall due regardless of whether suspicious activity has occurred, and a dormant account with no supporting framework is a common finding in inspections. A review will establish your actual position.
