OK if you say so.............
I have been here for 29 years almost - but anyway what you state almost verbatim is correct.
However, If you lived in Dubai, you didn't get out much did you?

You do make me laugh.
Reminds me of one of my last years living in UK and having a Biz in London.
At an end of a Financial Year meeting with my dedicated banker, at the Branch, just behind Oxford St in Portman Square, a young guy (and in those days very amicable, approachable and friendly - NOT like today's robotic morons), would have been around 1990-91, Nick his name was, and he said 'well Mr ........... it seems as though you︀ had a successful year, as you have paid yourself 50 grand (GBP50k) in the last︁ year. However .................................................. you spent 51k on your life'! I replied 'yes, but living in︂ St John's Wood, lot's of women and pubbing/clubbing it most nights of the week does︃ have it's costs'. He smiled and said, 'yes I envy you, but do try to︄ keep the ex's under your earnings next year'. 'Yes Boss' I replied, We stood, shook︅ hands and parted company half smiling/half laughing.
Oh how I do miss the life in︆ London in the 80's/90's, and I am talking about the convivial, helpful Banks ALSO!!!
You can still for the moment do WHAT YOU WISH with your money, until the 'powers︇ that be' decide (they have already decided) that we shall have (MUST have for all︈ our security you understand) CBDCs and of course Electronic Wallets (controlled by them), and THAT︉ will be the absolute END OF OUR FINANCIAL FREEDOM! (which is why we are all︊ here on this forum)

Did you pay her with your credit/debit card? 🙄
If affirmative, next time, get cash at an ATM. Has been working for me for the past +40 years.
Preferably, it's best to teach them to accept Monero or even the lightning network. They can "use" it forward or SWAP it if they need another "currency"! 😉

just wait. Compliance hates nervous clients. Its a red flag. When they don't come back in 2 weeks write them if they have any additional questions
I wouldn't even do that - firstly you have to understand that UAE bnks are staffed generally by useless ill-educated sub-continent morons, who never ever use that one functioning brain cell. This is discouraged as using intelligence and logic is inapplicable and alien to them
there are quite some interesting options if you are depositing a bit more money. Look at DIFC and ADGM regulated banks.
