Personal accounts: UAE

An honest assessment before work starts, the quote is fixed in writing.

The UAE is one of the world's busiest business hubs - companies relocate there, and so do their owners. We assist with corporate accounts at UAE banks for locally registered companies, as well as personal accounts at MTS Bank. A corporate account is essential for any UAE company that wants to operate properly, while a personal account suits those living in or spending significant time in the Emirates.

UAE banks look critically at businesses with non-resident roots, so we begin by reviewing the company's profile and its beneficial owners. We then select a bank that genuinely works with such cases, prepare the documentation covering your activities and source of funds, file the application and support you through to the bank's decision. Nobody can guarantee an account opening - the decision is always the bank's - our job is to make sure the application reaches it in the strongest possible shape.

FAQ

Do I need a UAE company to open a corporate account?
Yes - the corporate account is opened for a company registered in the UAE. If you do not have one yet, we can help with incorporation as a separate service.
Is a UAE residence visa required?
Requirements vary by bank: many expect the signatory to hold resident status, but approaches differ. We confirm the specific bank's conditions before any work begins.
What is the MTS Bank option?
It is a route for clients who need a personal account in the UAE. We prepare the documents and support the application to this bank the same way we do everywhere else.
