Corporate Bank Accounts

Hassle free corporate banking support

Once your business is active, you will need a corporate bank account to manage activities, send and receive money, and make financial payments. This requires you to open a business bank account in Dubai as part of the setup process to avoid any unnecessary delays.

However, there is a lot of documentation and organisation required to open a corporate bank account in Dubai and the UAE. Banking compliance regulations are stricter than in many other countries, and the entire process can be slowed down if a single piece of information is overlooked, which is far from ideal if you need to get set up quickly.

Our team will advise you about relevant and current compliance requirements, ensure all the relevant documentation is in place, and can also manage the entire application procedure from start to finish, keeping you updated every step of the way.
