UAE Central Bank Imposes Dh18m Fines On Two Foreign Bank Branches
The Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) has imposed a total of Dh18.1 million in financial penalties on two UAE branches of foreign banks for violations related to anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing regulations. The first bank was fined Dh10.6 million, while the second was issued a penalty of Dh7.5 million. The sanctions were issued under the law governing anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism and illegal organisations in the UAE. According to the CBUAE, the penalties follow examinations that revealed the two branches failed to comply with the UAE's AML legal framework and related regulatory requirements. The move follows a week after an exchange house was fined Dh200 million. The investigation found major problems in the exchange house's anti-money laundering and terrorism financing controls. The branch manager was also fined Dh500,000 and banned from working in any licensed financial institution in the UAE. The Central Bank stated that it is committed to ensuring that all financial institutions operating in the country adhere to applicable laws, regulations, and supervisory standards. It said this is essential for maintaining transparency in financial transactions and safeguarding the integrity of the UAE's financial system. The identities of the sanctioned banks were not disclosed.

European Union To Ban Anonymous Crypto & Privacy Tokens By 2027
The European Union is set to impose sweeping Anti-Money Laundering (AML) rules that will ban privacy-preserving tokens and anonymous cryptocurrency accounts from 2027. Under the new Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR), credit institutions, financial institutions and crypto asset service providers (CASPs) will be prohibited from maintaining anonymous accounts or handling privacy-preserving cryptocurrencies, such as Monero and Zcash. 'Article 79 of the AMLR establishes strict prohibitions on anonymous accounts […]. Credit institutions, financial institutions, and crypto-asset service providers are prohibited from maintaining anonymous accounts,' according to the AML Handbook, published by European Crypto Initiative (EUCI). The AML Handbook. Source: EUCI The regulation is part of a broader AML framework that includes bank and payment accounts, passbooks and safe-deposit boxes, 'crypto-asset accounts allowing anonymisation of transactions,' and 'accounts using anonymity-enhancing coins.' 'The regulations (the AMLR, AMLD and AMLAR) are final, and what remains is the 'fine print' — aka the interpretation of some of the requirements through the so-called implementing and delegated acts,' according to Vyara Savova, senior policy lead at the EUCI. She added that much of the implementation will come through so-called implementing and delegated acts, which are mostly handled by the European Banking Authority: 'This means that the EUCI is still actively working on these level two acts by providing feedback to the public consultations, as some of the implementation details are yet to be finalized.' 'However, the broader framework is final, so centralized crypto projects (CASPs under MiCA) need to keep it in mind when determining their internal processes and policies,' Savova said.
