Common queries on deployment and customization
What does Federal Decree Law 6/2025 require UAE banks to do about fraud prevention?
Federal Decree Law No. 6/2025 (the New CBUAE Law), Article 149, introduces an explicit mandatory obligation for all licensed financial institutions to implement robust fraud prevention and detection mechanisms. Banks must protect customers from unauthorised transactions and identity theft, notify customers promptly of any breaches, cooperate fully with CBUAE investigations, and share limited information with other licensed institutions where necessary to verify suspicious activity.
