Local context

What compliance looks like here

Saudi AML obligations sit on a risk-based framework overseen by SAMA for financial institutions and by the Ministry of Commerce for designated non-financial businesses. Suspicious transaction reports go to SAFIU, and supervisors look for a documented rationale behind each customer risk rating.

Arabic naming conventions are where most screening tools quietly fail. Multi-part names, the definite article, and inconsistent transliteration across passports and national records all produce false negatives. Regulix One matches across Arabic and Latin script and shows why a match was or was not made.

As the Kingdom's non-oil sectors grow, more firms cross into scope for the first time. The platform is designed to be usable by a compliance officer who is not also a systems administrator.

Platform

Built for this market

The capabilities that carry the most weight for firms supervised here.

  • Sanctions screening

    Match customers and counterparties against consolidated global sanctions regimes, with fuzzy and transliteration-aware Arabic name matching.

  • PEP and RCA coverage

    Identify politically exposed persons, their relatives and close associates, with the seniority and jurisdiction context an EDD file needs.

  • Risk scoring

    Combine country, sector, product, channel and behaviour signals into a defensible customer risk rating you control.

  • KYC document OCR

    Read Emirates IDs, GCC national IDs, passports and commercial licences in Arabic and English, and let the profile fill itself.
