The Challenge of Opening a UAE Business Bank Account
A corporate bank account is essential for your business operations, but due to global compliance standards, UAE banks conduct extensive due diligence. A poorly prepared application is the primary reason for rejection and delays.
Whether you have a mainland LLC or a company in a UAE free zone, banks will require a comprehensive file including your trade license, shareholder visas, and a solid business plan. Our service ensures your application is complete, professional, and meets all bank requirements from day one. This is a core part of our complete business setup services.

I tried opening a bank account on my own and failed. Their service was a game-changer. They knew exactly what the bank needed and prepared a perfect file. The account was approved in two weeks. Essential service!

Bank Account Opening FAQs
Why is it difficult to open a business bank account in the UAE?
It is not difficult if the application is perfect. UAE banks adhere to strict international AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and KYC (Know Your Customer) regulations, requiring thorough due diligence on all new accounts. Incomplete or unclear applications are often rejected.
Is a UAE residence visa required to open a corporate account?
Yes, for most banks, the presence of at least one shareholder with a valid UAE Residence Visa and Emirates ID is a mandatory requirement. Our visa services are an integral part of this process.
Can I open a UAE bank account remotely?
No, a personal appearance in the UAE by the account signatories is required by all major banks for the final verification and signing of documents. However, we can complete all the preparatory work before your visit.
