As the UAE intensifies its efforts to meet international AML/CFT benchmarks, compliance with Executive Office of AML/CFT (EOCN) directives has become essential for all Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs), Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs), and regulated entities. The EOCN plays a central role in monitoring national strategy implementation, issuing guidance, and coordinating with the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) and the Ministry of Economy. At Finjuris Global, we help you navigate these mandates with confidence, ensuring your internal controls, reporting processes, and risk management practices meet the latest compliance expectations.
Achieving EOCN compliance is no longer optional; it’s a strategic imperative. From risk-based internal audits to implementing EOCN directives in your corporate governance, Finjuris ensures your systems are aligned, proactive, and ready for regulatory scrutiny. As a trusted compliance partner, we help you meet your obligations without disruption, protecting your license, your stakeholders, and your reputation.
What is ECON?
EOCN is a UAE-mandated framework designed to combat the financing of terrorism, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and economic crimes. Derived from Federal Decree-Law No. 43/2021 and CBUAE regulations, it requires businesses to implement real-time sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, and robust due diligence protocols.
EOCN compliance is essential for any entity, especially FIs, VASPs, and DNFBPs, conducting cross-border transactions, imports/exports, or global procurement. Non-compliance carries significant financial, legal, operational, and reputational risks.

Why does it matter?
EOCN compliance is a cornerstone of the UAE’s national risk strategy and a key requirement for businesses looking to maintain regulatory continuity and cross-border credibility. In an environment of increasing international scrutiny, failing to comply with EOCN directives can result in severe penalties, license suspension, and even criminal liability.
Avoid Heavy Penalties & License Repercussions
Regulatory breaches in EOCN-related activities carry fines from AED 50,000 up to several million, license suspension, or revocation, jeopardizing your ability to operate.
Defend Reputation and Credibility
Proactive sanctions compliance is essential to preserve trust with banks, partners, and international clients, failure can lead to blacklisting.
Unlock Global Markets & Financing
Adherence to sanctions regimes enhances access to international banking, trade finance, and investment, avoiding frozen funds and financial disruptions.
Mitigate Regulatory & Criminal Exposure
Directors and compliance teams face personal liability under UAE laws for lapses in screening or escalations.
Satisfy DNFBP Obligations
Under UAE AML laws, non-bank professionals, including real estate, precious metals, auditors, and lawyers, must enforce trade sanctions and due diligence.
Meet International Transshipment Requirements
Operating in Dubai, JAFZA, or KIZAD without EOCN controls may disrupt free zone logistics and customs clearances.
