Step 1: Prepare Personal and Residency Documents
Collect essential personal identification such as your passport, passport copies, UAE visa, Emirates ID, and a sponsor or employer-issued NOC. For expats, some banks may also request a salary certificate or proof of residence like a rental or utility contract.
Step 2: Gather Business Documents (for Corporate Accounts)
For corporate accounts, prepare your trade license, company registration proof, share certificates, and the Memorandum & Articles of Association. Ensure that a board-authorized officer is designated as the account holder.
Step 3: Include Shareholder and Signatory Details
Provide passports, visas, and identification documents for all shareholders and authorized signatories. This step ensures full compliance with UAE banking and anti-money laundering regulations.
Step 4: Submit Additional Supporting Documents
Depending on the bank, you may need to provide stakeholder information, previous bank statements, business plans, audit reports, compliance documents, or financial forecasts. These help the bank assess your business profile accurately.
Step 5: Account Verification and Activation
Once all documents are submitted, the bank will review your application. You may need to attend an in-person verification meeting. After approval, your account will be activated, ready for transactions and business operations.
