Important Notes
- Not all UAE banks offer non-resident accounts, we’ll connect you only to eligible ones.
- Account approval may take 2 to 4 weeks depending on compliance checks.
- Some banks may require a video KYC interview or physical signature.
- Bank account opening is subject to each bank's KYC, compliance review and final approval. We prepare the file, pre-check it against the bank's requirements, and if one bank declines we apply to the next.
