The ICC Banking Commission conducted its final meeting of 2024 virtually via Teams on 20-21 November. Four separate portions of the event open to Banking Commission members and ICC National Committee representatives took place.
The Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) has assessed a AED 19.5 million (USD 5.3m) financial sanction against a bank operating in the UAE for “the bank’s failure to achieve appropriate levels of compliance in its AML & Sanctions Compliance Frameworks for an extended period of time.”
Previously, CBUAE had imposed monitoring on the bank to require the appointment of a consultant to take necessary urgent action to reach compliance standards. In a 14 December 2021 public release announcing its enforcement, CBUAE does not name the bank.
