Partner to examine the impact of the UAE’s Central Bank framework on motor claims
Al Tamimi & Company, in collaboration with Axxion Claims Settlement Services, has outlined the operational implications of the UAE’s consolidated Central Bank framework for motor claims, ahead of the September 2026 deadline for the reconciliation period established under Federal Decree-Law No. 6 of 2025.
Federal Decree-Law No. 6 of 2025, which came into force in September 2025, brought banking, financial institutions and insurance business under a single supervisory framework.
While the legislative instruments are already well known across the market, Al Tamimi & Company and Axxion have focused on a narrower question: how these requirements apply in practice to the handling of individual claims, where compliance obligations arise in day-to-day operations, and what changes are required within claims processes rather than policy documentation.

“This framework follows the direction global insurance supervision has been moving for years and brings the UAE into line with the standards established by the International Association of Insurance Supervisors,” remarked Anand Singh, Legal Director and Head of Insurance, GCC, Al Tamimi & Company.
“This is not a policy exercise that ends with a board paper. It reaches the moment a handler decides an estimate is too high, the moment a rejection letter is drafted and the moment a file is closed. Those moments are where the framework will be tested, and they happen thousands of times a month across this market,” added Frederik Bisbjerg, Managing Director and Co-founder, Axxion.
