Official program name: Opening an account with a bank in the United Arab Emirates
Program category: Business bank account
Who decides: The bank you apply to. Banks are supervised by the Central Bank of the UAE.
What it covers: Preparing your application and documents for a business bank account, and introducing you to banks that accept your type of company.
Who needs it: Any new company that needs to receive payments, pay suppliers and staff, or deposit share capital.
Typical documents: Company registration papers, identification and proof of address for the owners and directors, a business plan, and evidence of the source of funds.
Good to know: Banks run identity and anti-money-laundering checks and may ask for more information. Approval is never guaranteed. Founders based abroad can face extra checks, and digital banks are sometimes faster than traditional banks.
Processing time: To be confirmed. It depends on the bank and on your documents.
