The financial authority also reportedly imposed a penalty of AED 3.5 million to the exchange house, which it has not named.
"The CBUAE, through its supervisory and regulatory mandates, works to ensure that all exchange houses, their owners, and staff abide by the UAE laws, regulations and standards adopted by the CBUAE to safeguard the transparency and integrity of the exchange houses industry and the UAE financial system," a statement by the Bank said.
