BANKING IN THE UAE

The license is only the first part of the journey.

Opening a corporate bank account is an important step after establishing a UAE company, but every bank has its own onboarding and compliance requirements.

Banks may review your business activity, shareholders, expected transactions, source of funds, customer profile, suppliers and overall commercial substance before making an account-opening decision.

Gulf Matrix helps you prepare the application properly and identify banking options that may suit your business profile.
