The UAE Central Bank (CBUAE) launched two new regulations concerning Large Value and Retail payment. The regulation applies to payments done in UAE or for those settlements with Dirhams outside UAE. It’s announced that system operators and settlement institutions of Large Payments must comply with this regulation by February 2022.
The Regulations were launched to provide strong, efficient, and accessible financial infrastructure in the UAE and are aimed at assisting our financial institutions, corporations, and help our competitive economy.
