This study intends to confirm whether the banks in Yemen adhere to international laws and procedures on anti-money laundering. We used primary data and descriptive analytical methods. The research encompasses 11 banks located in the Yemeni capital of “Sana’a” . The total number of branches used as study sample is 60.
