FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

When must a Fund Freeze Report be filed?+

When a customer or counterparty is a confirmed match to a UN Security Council or UAE Local Terrorist List, you must freeze the funds without delay and report the action through goAML, typically within the very short window set by the Executive Office for Control and Non-Proliferation.

What is the difference between an FFR and a Partial Name Match Report?+

A Fund Freeze Report follows a confirmed true match that requires assets to be frozen. A Partial Name Match Report is filed when a name only partially matches a listed person and no freeze is yet warranted. We help you tell them apart correctly.

How fast do we have to act on a confirmed match?+

Immediately. Freezing is required without prior notice and within a strict deadline measured in hours, not days. Late action on a sanctions match is treated very seriously, so we help you respond at speed and correctly.

Can we unfreeze the funds ourselves later?+

No. Once frozen on a confirmed listing, funds stay frozen until the competent authority directs otherwise. We help you manage the relationship and any de-listing or release process through the proper channels.
