Foreign bank penalised for violating UAE regulations

WAM

The branch of a foreign bank operating in the UAE has been fined AED 600,000 for failing to comply with market conduct and consumer protection regulations.

The penalty follows an inspection by the Central Bank, which found violations of UAE banking standards.

The action was taken under Article 137 of the Federal Law No. 14 of 2018, governing financial institutions.

Authorities say the move is part of ongoing efforts to uphold transparency and integrity across the country’s financial sector.
