goAML in one minute
goAML is the platform the UAE Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) uses to receive suspicious transaction reports and the threshold reports certain sectors must file. Under the UAE's anti-money laundering law — now Federal Decree-Law No. 10 of 2025 — businesses in scope must register and report through it.
Is your business in scope?
Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs) are supervised by the Ministry of Economy and Tourism, apart from lawyers, who are supervised by the Ministry of Justice. Financial institutions and virtual asset service providers report to goAML too.
DNFBPs that register
- Real estate brokers and agents
- Dealers in precious metals and precious stones
- Lawyers, notaries and other legal professionals
- Independent accountants and auditors

What we set up
- Scope check — whether your activity puts you under goAML

Not every business files every report. The two threshold reports below catch most dealers and brokers; the rest apply when something looks wrong.
| Report | When it is filed |
|---|---|
| DPMSR — Dealers in Precious Metals & Stones Report | Cash transactions of AED 55,000 or more with individuals, or cash or wire transfers of AED 55,000 or more with companies |
| REAR — Real Estate Activity Report | Freehold property deals paid in cash of AED 55,000 or more, or involving virtual assets |
| STR / SAR — Suspicious Transaction / Activity Report | Whenever you suspect funds or activity are linked to crime |
| HRC / HRCA — High-Risk Country reports | Transactions or activity involving high-risk jurisdictions |
| PNMR / FFR — name-match and funds-freeze reports | Possible or confirmed matches against sanctions lists |
