About This Session
The United Arab Emirates is experiencing rapid growth as a global financial technology and payments engine, propelled by initiatives from the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE), DFSA and FSRA. However, beneath this rapid expansion lies a increasingly complex regulatory environment.

- AML, Sanctions & Fraud Prevention
