Abu Dhabi – In a decisive move reflecting heightened regulatory scrutiny, the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) has revoked the operating license of Dubai-based Dynamics Insurance Brokers, citing non-compliance with licensing obligations.

The CBUAE said the revocation was carried out under Article 22 (2) of the Insurance Authority Board of Directors Resolution No. 15 of 2013, which lays out the governance framework for insurance brokerage activities across the Emirates.

According to the central bank’s statement, the decision followed an official inspection that found Dynamics Insurance Brokers had failed to meet key regulatory terms and conditions stipulated under its license. However, specific details regarding the nature of the infractions were not disclosed.

This enforcement action highlights the regulator’s commitment to ensuring integrity and compliance across the UAE’s financial and insurance sectors. “The CBUAE will continue to supervise all licensed financial entities, including insurance brokers, to maintain transparency, trust, and adherence to legal frameworks within the national financial system,” the authority noted.

While the direct implications for the company’s existing clients remain unclear, industry experts view the move as part of a broader shift toward stricter enforcement across the sector. Over the past year, the Central Bank has repeatedly urged licensed firms to align their operations with prevailing compliance standards and has granted transitional periods for corrective measures.

“The revocation serves as a warning shot for the industry,” said a Dubai-based compliance consultant familiar with the matter. “Regulators are no longer willing to tolerate lapses—no matter how established the firm may be.”

As the UAE continues to reinforce its regulatory infrastructure to match global best practices, market participants are being urged to reinforce internal controls, enhance transparency, and ensure full adherence to CBUAE directives.
