Opening a bank account in the UAE
We prepare the company for compliance and support the account opening: we select a bank matching your business profile, assemble the document package, and handle questions from the review department.
When clients come to us
- a bank refused you without explanation
- the company is registered, but there is still no account
- you need an account for a specific currency or the jurisdiction of your counterparties
- your activity is considered high-risk
- you need a personal account as a resident
What we do
- select a bank matching your activity and your counterparties' geography
- prepare a description of the business model for compliance
- assemble and format the full document package
- prepare you for the meeting with the bank
- handle any additional requests from the review department
How the work proceeds
- Profile. We review the activity, turnover, counterparties and sources of funds.
- Selection. We choose a bank where your profile will pass compliance, not simply the cheapest one.
- Package. We prepare the documents, the description of the model, and proof of the source of funds.
- Opening. We support the meeting and respond to additional requests until the account is activated.
Documents required
- licence and constitutional documents
- passports and Emirates ID of the founders
- contracts and invoices with counterparties
- proof of the source of funds
- the founder's resume
