Real estate AML in the UAE

Real estate AML in the UAE has a step that happens before every deal: checking the buyer, the seller and anyone acting for them against the UAE Local Terrorist List and the UN Security Council list. OFACScreen does that step. Search a name free here, and in an account add the UAE Local Terrorist List, screen a client list as a CSV and keep a record of every check.

How brokers screen with OFACScreen

  1. 1

    Search the parties

    Enter each buyer, seller and company owner. Names typed in Latin letters or in Arabic, misspellings and reversed word order still match, each with a score and the list it came from.

  2. 2

    Review any match

    Check the entry's date of birth, nationality and passport number against the party's documents. Most name matches are not the listed person. What you do with a confirmed match is your compliance officer's decision: OFACScreen does not freeze funds or file reports.

  3. 3

    Keep the record

    On a plan, every search goes into an audit trail with the date, the lists covered, the result and who ran it, and exports as CSV. The parties you save are re-screened every day, with an email when one of them matches.

Built for a brokerage

A plan has seats for more than one agent, so the whole office screens under one account and each search is logged to the agent who ran it. A client list goes in as a CSV file and every row is screened in one run.

OFACScreen covers sanctions screening only. Identifying the parties, source-of-funds checks and anything filed through goAML stay with your compliance officer.

Questions

Yes, on a paid plan. Upload the list as a CSV file, and every row is screened in one run, with the UAE Local Terrorist List included when you add it. Save the names you need to keep checking, and they are re-screened every day.
Not yet. The free search covers the default lists, among them the UN Security Council list. The UAE Local Terrorist List is optional: in an account you can add it to a search, a CSV batch, an API call or the names you monitor.
Yes. Search the company by name and each owner by name. Company endings such as LLC or FZE do not stop a match, and a name typed in Arabic is matched against the Arabic spelling on the list.
