Jan 25, 2024
7 min read
For many new entrepreneurs, opening a corporate bank account is more difficult than getting the trade license itself. Global AML and KYC regulations have made banks highly selective, often leading to long delays or rejected applications.
What UAE Banks Look For
Banks assess risk based on your business activity, source of wealth, and geographical footprint. A well-prepared business profile and clear financial projections are essential to passing the initial screening.
- ✓Proof of Residency: Valid Emirates ID and Residency Visa for the signatory.
- ✓Office Presence: Physical tenancy contracts (Ejari) are often mandatory.
- ✓Client/Supplier Info: Proof of existing or potential business relationships.
- ✓Profile Transparency: Clear explanation of the source of investment capital.
