The Central Bank last month revoked the licence of Galaxy Insurance Broker (Galaxy) and struck its name off the register after investigation findings conducted by the CBUAE revealed that Galaxy Insurance Broker had weak compliance and failed to comply with the regulatory obligations.

Earlier this month, the UAE Central Bank imposed a financial sanction of Dh5.8 million on a bank operating in the UAE for not adhering to anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) laws of the country.
