The STR Process
A step-by-step guide to identifying, preparing, and submitting a Suspicious Transaction Report through the goAML platform.
If a Reporting Entity (RE) suspects or has reasonable grounds to suspect that a Transaction or Funds, in whole or in part, represent Proceeds or are related to or intended to be used in the Crime, regardless of their value, UAE law requires the entity to file a Suspicious Transaction Report (STR) to the UAEFIU.
RE identifies suspicious transactions or activities among its customers, counterparties or other stakeholders.
RE raises an STR through the goAML system, which includes all relevant information about the suspected crime, including:
Background
Parties involved
Reasons for the report
Possible red flags related to money laundering or financing of terrorism
The UAEFIU reviews and analyses the STR. They may contact REs for more information and clarification.
When required, the UAEFIU shares intelligence with relevant local stakeholders for their information and action.
The UAEFIU also connects with counterpart FIUs internationally to source further intelligence
