Your data stays private

Queries are processed in real time and not stored or shared. No training on your questions. Payments secured via Stripe.

How it works under the hood: When you ask a question, RegIQ searches across our indexed knowledge base of official CBUAE and SAMA documents using semantic retrieval. The AI then synthesizes an answer using only the retrieved regulatory text — never from general internet knowledge. Every statement is tied to a source document you can click and verify. This is not a general-purpose chatbot — it is a focused regulatory research tool.

What are the customer due diligence requirements for high-risk customers under CBUAE regulations?

High-risk customers must be subject to Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) Measures under CBUAE AML/CFT Guidance:

  • •Increased scrutiny — higher standards of verification and documentation from reliable, independent sources [Source 1]
  • •Source of funds & wealth inquiry — detailed evaluation of purpose of business relationship and nature of customer's business [Source 1]
  • •Higher management approval — increased supervision with more frequent transaction monitoring and CDD updates [Source 1]

  • •Regulated fee caps — account closure max AED 100, late payment max AED 230 (credit cards), early settlement max 1% or AED 10,000 for home loans [Source 2]
  • •Data protection — personal data must be stored in the UAE with secure backups and 5-year retention period [Source 3]

What are the requirements for reporting suspicious transactions under UAE anti-money laundering regulations?

Under CBUAE AML regulations, all suspicious transactions must be reported to the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU):

  • •No minimum threshold — all suspicious transactions must be reported regardless of amount, including attempted transactions [Source 1]
  • •Report without delay — when there are reasonable grounds to suspect proceeds are related to a crime or intent to use funds for criminal purposes [Source 1]
  • •Submit via GoAML system — select at least one reason for reporting from the provided menu options [Source 1]
  • •Severe penalties for non-compliance — failure to report is a federal crime with fines of AED 100,000 to AED 1,000,000 and/or imprisonment [Source 1]

FAQ

Common questions

How accurate are the answers?
Every answer is grounded exclusively in official CBUAE and SAMA regulatory documents. The AI only responds based on what's in our knowledge base — it does not use general internet knowledge or make things up. Every claim is backed by a source citation you can click through and verify against the original document.
Which regulators and document types are covered?
We cover the UAE Central Bank (CBUAE) and the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA). This includes regulations, circulars, notices, standards, and guidance documents across both jurisdictions — covering AML/CFT, licensing, capital adequacy, consumer protection, payment services, insurance, and more. We're actively expanding to additional GCC regulatory bodies.
How can I verify an answer?
Every RegIQ answer includes source citations with the name and type of the regulatory document (e.g., 'CBUAE AML/CFT Guidance for Licensed Financial Institutions'). You can click the source badge to access the original document and confirm the answer against the official text. We believe verifiability is non-negotiable for compliance work.
How is my data handled?
Your queries are processed in real time to generate answers and are not stored for training or shared with third parties. We do not build user profiles from your questions. Payment processing is handled securely by Stripe — RegIQ never sees or stores your card details.
Is this legal advice?
No. RegIQ is a regulatory research and information tool — not a substitute for legal counsel. Our AI provides answers grounded in official regulatory text with citations, but you should always verify critical decisions with qualified legal professionals. Think of it as a faster way to find the relevant regulation, not a replacement for professional judgment.
How up-to-date is the data?
Our ingestion pipeline continuously monitors CBUAE and SAMA for new publications. When new circulars, notices, or standards are published, they are automatically ingested, parsed, and added to the knowledge base. Each source document in our system is tagged with its publication date.
Who is RegIQ built for?
RegIQ is purpose-built for GCC compliance professionals: compliance officers at banks and financial institutions, fintech companies navigating licensing requirements, legal teams researching regulatory frameworks, and consultancies advising clients on UAE and Saudi Arabia regulatory matters.
