Overview

What Is goAML and Why Is It Mandatory?

goAML is the official UAE anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-financing of terrorism (CFT) reporting portal operated by the UAE Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) under the Ministry of Economy. It is used by Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs) to register for AML compliance and submit Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) and Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs).

Registration on the goAML portal is mandatory for all DNFBPs in the UAE under Federal Decree-Law No. 20 of 2018 and its amendments. Failure to register or comply with AML obligations can result in significant regulatory penalties from the Ministry of Economy, including fines and business suspension.
