FinTech Regulatory Sandbox Guidelines

UAE-based FinTechs, startups, and entrepreneurs must meet eligibility criteria, including financial soundness and Fit and Proper requirements, to apply for the sandbox. Participants must implement safeguards such as escrow accounts, data protection, and consumer complaint mechanisms, limiting testing to specific consumer types and volumes. Obligations include submitting interim reports validated by the CEO, a final report within 30 days of completion, and an extension request 30 days prior to expiry. A 2,500 AED fee is due at initiation, and participants must execute an exit strategy upon discontinuation.
