The UAE Central Bank has set up a special platform for whistleblowers to anonymously report misconduct and other wrongdoings that may be committed by any of its staff, contractors and representatives. 

The portal (https://eservices.centralbank.ae/wb/) is an encrypted online tool for anyone, including vendors, the public and financial institutions, to raise concerns around misconduct “without fear of reprisal”, the banking authority said on Monday. 

“[The site[ allows internal and external stakeholders to anonymously raise any concern related to misconduct or policy violations by [central bank] employees, contractors and representatives,” a statement said. 

“The launch of the whistleblowing portal is part of [the central bank’s] efforts to promote compliance with the [central bank’s] code of conduct and the highest standards of governance.” 

Those who choose to raise a claim can also share files and other relevant documents through the portal.
