The company and visa are done, and then you wait for the bank. In the UAE, opening an account is often the most drawn-out step. Banks check closely who you are, what your company does and where your money comes from. With good preparation, it gets much easier.
What we take care of for you
- The right bank: Not every bank suits every profile. We recommend a bank that fits your business activity, your nationality and your business model.
- Preparing your documents: So that the bank has as few follow-up questions as possible. Follow-up questions are the most common reason for delays.
- Accompaniment to the bank appointment and following up until the bank has made its decision.
- Personal and business account: For a personal account, you usually already need your Emirates ID. A business account requires the company to be fully set up.
Which package?
In the Core package and the Plus package, you receive a guide to opening your account; full support can be added. In the Elite package, support with your business account is included.
Frequently asked questions
Can you guarantee me an account?
No. The decision to open an account rests solely with the bank. We make sure your application is as complete and coherent as possible.
Can I open the account before I move?
For a personal account, you need the Emirates ID in most cases, which means your residence visa. That's why we build it into the overall timeline right from the start.
