Corporate banking assistance
Prepare Properly.
Apply to the Right Banks.
Start Operating.
Corporate bank account preparation and coordination for new UAE companies, built around how banks review your business, ownership and source of funds.
Why applications stall
Banking is often
the slowest step in setup.
Applications stall when the business model is unclear, ownership documents are incomplete, source of funds isn't evidenced, or the company applies to a bank that doesn't serve its profile. Most of this can be fixed before applying.

Common questions
Corporate banking,
answered.
Can you guarantee a bank account?
No. Each bank decides under its own compliance policies. We improve your file and approach banks suited to your profile.
How long does it take?
It varies by bank and profile, and can be longer for complex ownership. [NEED: realistic range]
Can a non-resident open a corporate account?
Some banks accept non-resident shareholders, but options are narrower. Many prefer at least one UAE-resident signatory.
