Get Support With Banking Challenges in the UAE

UAE banks operate under a strict regulatory framework, creating a potentially lengthy and complex account opening process, especially for entities with numerous shareholders or subsidiaries. According to a 2023 report by Gulf News, over 60% of startups in the UAE experience delays of over 3 weeks just getting their business bank accounts approved.

Why is it such a challenge?

Stricter Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) checks.
Misalignment between bank expectations and business license activities.
Banks demanding high minimum balances, especially for corporate accounts.
Confusion between traditional and digital bank account for business options.

If you’re trying to open a digital bank account, get a corporate bank account opening done, or even simply open a personal bank account, the hurdles can be unexpected and frustrating. That’s exactly why our services exist to simplify and accelerate the journey.
