Who you answer to
The authorities and frameworks that set compliance obligations in this market.
- SAMA, Saudi Central Bank
- Supervises banks, finance companies, insurers and payment institutions.
- SAFIU, Saudi Arabia Financial Intelligence Unit
- Receives suspicious transaction reports from all reporting entities.
- CMA, Capital Market Authority
- Supervises capital market institutions and listed entities.
- MoC, Ministry of Commerce
- Supervises designated non-financial businesses and professions.
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.

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.
