GOAML (Go Anti-Money Laundering) Registration is the mandatory process for designated businesses and financial institutions in the UAE to enroll on the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) portal. This system is the official electronic channel used for reporting suspicious transactions and activities (AML/CFT) to the government. Failure to register and file accurate reports is a severe compliance violation. KWS.ae provides expert support to manage this obligation, guiding you through the mandatory registration and establishing internal controls to ensure ongoing, risk-free compliance.
In efforts to tighten the AML regulations, the UAE has launched the goAML portal for specified businesses to register before the 31st March, 2021. It is imperative that entities falling under the scope of the Cabinet Decision expedite the registration process on the goAML platform. This needs to be done in order to avoid penalties and sanctions.
Money laundering is defined as any financial or banking transaction aimed at concealing or changing the source of illegally obtained funds, by passing it through the financial and banking system in order to make it appear as originating from legitimate sources, and then re-pumping and investing it illegally.
If you're running a business in the UAE and haven’t completed your goAML registration, you're at risk. The UAE government requires certain businesses—especially DNFBPs (Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions) —to register on the goAML portal to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) laws.
Failing to register can cost you big. We're talking about fines from AED 50,000 up to AED 5 million, and in some cases, loss of your trade license. The government is serious about stopping money laundering and illegal financial activities, and your business needs to show it’s serious too.
