Make Compliance Easier to Manage
Vertex Compliance provides compliance services in the UAE for businesses that need extra support with this work. That may mean helping an existing compliance team, taking care of a specific task, or stepping in when regulatory work starts taking up too much internal time.
There is no need to outsource your entire compliance function. Our specialists can support the areas where your team needs help most. This may include ongoing compliance work, KYC reviews, regulatory data preparation, AML inspection readiness, or specific control requirements. We tailor our outsourced compliance services to fit around your business, your regulator, and the resources you already have in place.
Our Compliance Services
Some compliance tasks cannot wait. We help your team handle the work that needs attention and keep the right records in place.
External Compliance Officer
You may not need someone in the office every day to manage compliance. You do, however, need someone to keep an eye on it. Our external compliance officer works with your business on the tasks that need regular attention. That might mean updating a policy, checking customer files or making sure a report goes out on time. We can also help your staff deal with questions and pick up issues that would otherwise get missed. You get the support you need without hiring someone full-time.
Managed KYC Service
Customer checks often take longer than expected. One file is missing an identity document. Another has ownership details that do not add up. Some need updating, but nobody has had time to get to them. We help your team work through those checks, collect the right documents and flag customers who need a closer look. We can also handle file reviews and updates when customer details change. The result is a clearer record of who your customers are and fewer gaps left for your team to chase.
ML/TF Risk Assessment Data Collection Process
A risk assessment will not tell you much if the information behind it is incomplete. You need to know who your customers are, where they operate, what services they use and how money moves through your business. We help you bring that information together and check where important details are missing. This can include customer records, transaction figures, business activities and country information. Once the data is in better shape, your team can assess money laundering and terrorist financing risks with a clearer understanding of what is actually happening.
AML Periodic Inspection
An AML policy may look fine until you check what is happening in the business. Customer files might be incomplete. Risk ratings may be out of date. Staff may not know when to report a concern. Our periodic inspections look at these areas and check whether your AML controls are being followed. We review the relevant records, point out what needs attention and explain what should happen next. Regular checks give your business a chance to fix small problems before they turn into bigger ones.
CBUAE Brand Protection & Digital Impersonation Compliance Support
Someone sets up a fake website using your company name. A social media account copies your branding. Customers start receiving messages that appear to come from your business. These situations can cause real harm if they are not dealt with quickly. We help you check how your business identifies and responds to digital impersonation under CBUAE requirements. That includes reporting the issue, warning customers, deciding who should act and keeping a record of what happened. Your team knows what to do when someone misuses your name online.
Businesses We Support
We work with institutions that need extra hands for KYC, regulatory work, inspections, and everyday compliance responsibilities.
Banks
Our compliance teams are often juggling many different things at once. We can help with customer due diligence, KYC reviews, monitoring, documentation and other ongoing compliance work. We collaborate with banks to address CBUAE brand protection and digital impersonation requirements, including monitoring, escalating, reporting, and managing suspicious online activity.
Exchange Offices
High volumes of transactions can be challenging in keeping up with routine compliance work. We offer support for exchange houses with KYC reviews, customer files, compliance records and other ongoing tasks. We can also provide assistance with CBUAE digital impersonation controls if required, relating to fake websites, social accounts, advertisements or any other online activity using the business’s name.
Insurance Providers
Insurance businesses may need extra support with customer onboarding, KYC checks, monitoring, documentation, or regulatory work. We can work alongside the existing compliance team and take on areas that are creating a backlog or need closer attention. Support can also cover controls used to address online brand misuse and digital impersonation.
Finance Companies
As customer numbers and products grow, compliance work tends to grow with them. We support finance companies with customer verification, KYC reviews, monitoring, reporting, records, and other regulatory responsibilities. You can use the service for ongoing support or to supplement an internal team’s capacity.
Payment Service Providers
Payment businesses often deal with growing transaction volumes, digital products, and large amounts of customer information. We help keep KYC, customer reviews, monitoring, and compliance records manageable. We can also support reviews of digital impersonation controls covering fake websites, apps, advertisements, social media accounts, and similar online threats.
Real Estate Agents
Real estate businesses may need to produce a wide range of customer and compliance information for regulatory purposes. We help with KYC records, beneficial ownership information, ML/TF risk assessment data, and preparation for AML periodic inspections. Before an inspection, we can also help check whether important records or supporting documents are missing.
Precious Metals & Stones Dealers
High-value transactions can create more detailed KYC and record-keeping requirements. We help precious metals and stone dealers organise customer information, prepare ML/TF risk assessment data, and review compliance records before periodic inspections. This makes it easier to see what is already in place and what still needs attention.
Accounting & Legal Companies
Client files can quickly become difficult to manage when KYC, beneficial ownership, regulatory information, and supporting documents sit across different records. We help accounting and legal businesses bring that information together, prepare ML/TF risk assessment data, and get ready for AML periodic inspections.
