The UAE government has introduced a new digital platform for Know Your Customer (KYC) that aims to enhance the transparency and compliance of financial transactions across the nation. This initiative is a key component of the country’s strategy to modernize its financial infrastructure and promote digital transformation.
According to Federal Decree-Law No. 30 of 2024, the KYC platform facilitates the secure and thorough verification of customer identities in the financial, banking, and insurance sectors. This process helps to combat financial crimes, builds trust in the UAE’s business and financial systems, and ensures adherence to global regulatory standards.
This initiative is set to not only boost financial transparency but also elevate the UAE’s position in the global fintech landscape, establishing the country as a frontrunner in leveraging technology to create a stable and sustainable economic environment.
