Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to open a bank account in Dubai?

The timeframe for opening a bank account in Dubai varies depending on the bank, account type, and your specific circumstances. Personal accounts typically take 1-2 weeks to process. Corporate accounts generally take 2-6 weeks, with mainland companies usually getting faster approvals than offshore entities. The process includes initial application, documentation review, compliance checks, and final approval. Our service helps optimize this timeline by ensuring proper documentation and preparation.

Which banks offer the best services for new businesses?

Several banks in Dubai offer strong services for new businesses, including Emirates NBD, Mashreq Bank, RAKBANK, Commercial Bank of Dubai, and ADCB. The "best" option depends on your specific business needs, industry, and structure. Some banks specialize in certain business types or offer dedicated startup packages. International banks like HSBC and Standard Chartered are good options if you need global banking capabilities. Our advisory service helps match you with the most suitable banking partner based on your unique requirements.

What are the minimum deposit requirements for Dubai bank accounts?

Minimum deposit requirements vary widely across Dubai banks. Personal accounts typically require minimum opening deposits ranging from AED 3,000 to AED 20,000, depending on the account type and features. Corporate accounts generally require higher minimum balances, typically ranging from AED 10,000 to AED 100,000. Some banks also require minimum monthly average balances to avoid service fees. Premium accounts and specialized business accounts may have higher requirements. Our advisory service provides current specific requirements for various banking options.

Can non-residents open bank accounts in Dubai?

Yes, non-residents can open bank accounts in Dubai, though the options are more limited than for residents. Non-resident personal accounts typically require additional documentation and may have higher minimum deposit requirements. For corporate accounts, non-resident directors can open accounts for UAE-registered companies. Some banks offer specific non-resident banking programs, particularly for investment purposes or high-net-worth individuals. Offshore banking options are also available through certain institutions. Documentation requirements are significantly stricter for non-resident accounts.
