Compliance
Local context

What compliance looks like here

Kuwaiti AML obligations are supervised by the Central Bank for banks and finance companies, by the Capital Markets Authority for securities activity, and by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry for designated non-financial businesses.

Suspicious transaction reports are filed with the Kuwait FIU through goAML, and supervisors expect ongoing monitoring rather than a screening check filed once at onboarding. Regulix One rescreens automatically as designations change and raises material hits as alerts.

Bilingual records matter here: customer files and reports need to be readable by an Arabic-speaking compliance officer and an English-speaking auditor without a translation step in between.

Onboarding

OCR is tuned to the identity and entity documents actually issued here, in Arabic and English.

  • Chamber of Commerce certificate
Platform

Built for this market

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

See details

  • Ongoing monitoring

    Screened customers are rechecked as lists move, so a new designation reaches you as an alert instead of a finding in your next audit.

  • Regulatory reporting

    Produce the files your regulator expects, including goAML-compatible output where your jurisdiction uses it, plus audit packs on demand.

  • 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.
