The Compliance Department’s ultimate goal is to ensure the application of the regulations drawn by the legislators, regulators and its board of directors; it plays an essential role in helping to preserve the integrity and reputation of the Bank.
  • AML & CFT have always been a key consideration to IBL Bank. Within the Compliance Department, the AML unit bears the responsibility for ensuring that the bank’s clients act within the law and don’t use the bank for illegal activities, such as money laundering or funding terrorism. AML Unit team ensures this commitment by using international automated systems regarding all types of banking transactions, filtering and screening tools.

  • Since Legal/Regulatory compliance is of the utmost importance in maintaining the bank’s integrity and reputation, and thus, sustain the healthy growth of business, the Legal/Regulatory Compliance Unit was established in order to ensure that IBL’s activity adhere, strictly, with local and international laws and regulations. Accordingly, the Legal/Regulatory Unit aims to monitor, control the application of laws and regulations and hence, to implement good business legal standards relevant to IBL’s business and prevent legal and reputational risks that could arise as a result of failing to comply with the provisions of laws and regulations. Since, the world became increasingly globalised and cross-border activities became the norm, number of substantial changes has been made by financial regulators, international bodies, governments and banks to ensure the protection and long-term safety of both the financial system and our customers’ interests: - IBL Bank is proud of its commitment to being fully FATCA-compliant in all countries where we operate. - IBL Bank is fully CRS compliant: The Bank has implemented the Common Reporting Standard rules in its own system and started the application of its regulations by July 1, 2017.
