Expanding across the Middle East is creating new compliance pressure for fintechs, banks, payment providers, crypto platforms, and global businesses operating in the region.

From evolving KYB requirements and AML expectations to data sovereignty laws and cross-border entity verification, companies are facing increasing complexity when onboarding and monitoring businesses across multiple jurisdictions.

This webinar brings together compliance, legal, and verification experts from across the region to discuss what it actually takes to stay compliant while scaling internationally.

The session will cover:
– The latest KYB and AML expectations across key Middle Eastern markets
– Common compliance gaps companies face when entering or expanding in the region
– Challenges around verifying global counterparties, UBOs, and complex corporate structures
– How businesses can balance local regulatory requirements with scalable global operations
– The role of automation, orchestration, and verification infrastructure in reducing compliance friction

Whether you are building a regional compliance framework, expanding internationally, or reviewing your current KYB processes, this session is designed to provide practical insights from companies operating on the ground.
