The Consumer Protection Regulation (Circular No. 8/2020) (CPR) was issued by the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates on December 31, 2020. Licensed financial institutions governed by the UAE’s Central Bank must adhere to the CPR and the related Consumer Protection Standards (CPS) when handling consumer data.

The CPR imposes various standards concerning conduct, data protection, governance and oversight, responsible lending practices, information and transparency, barriers to competition and access to services, complaints handling, and public awareness.

The CPR and CPS require licensed financial institutions to commit more resources to consumer data protection and implement improved security measures, giving the financial sector an improved overhaul.

Additionally, the CPR and CPS require institutions to design and implement a compliance program with organizational, technical, procedural, and documentary aspects and ensure that it is communicated to and followed by staff.

Key CPR & CPS Requirements for Financial Institutions

Financial institutions must have multi-channel security where each distribution channel needs to be secure and private.


For effective data management, financial institutions must have a robust system of checks and balances, policies, procedures, and system controls.


Financial institutions must develop employee training and awareness programs on their control framework and ensure that staff receives at least yearly reminders of the need to protect personal information.


Access to customer data should be restricted to authorized personnel and business lines. A log of access to customer data must be kept and made available to the Central Bank upon request; the log must specify which staff members accessed customer data and when.


Before customer data is provided to a third party or used for direct marketing, informed and explicit consent must be obtained. If the consent is for direct marketing, the record of consent must be kept for 5 years following the end of the customer connection.
