Common Questions About UAE Bank Account Opening

Here are the questions we get most often. If yours isn’t here, just reach out — we’re happy to talk through your specific situation.

Is it possible to open a bank account as a non-resident in Dubai?

It is indeed possible, although the number of banks that offer this service is relatively low. These banks tend to be in the UAE and usually target non-residents who are investing in the UAE or want to set up a business in the country. The requirements tend to be stringent, and the application process is lengthy, although with the right guidance, it is definitely possible. Neyom Global can assist you in identifying the best options that can be applied for as a non-resident and take it from there.

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

It generally takes anywhere between 7 and 21 business days to open a corporate account in the UAE, depending on the bank and the complexity of the business profile. But with Neyom Global’s active management and intervention, we can make sure that the application doesn’t get delayed and keep you updated at every step.

What's the best bank for a new company in Dubai?

Well, there’s no such thing as the “best” bank for a new company in Dubai. It depends on the type of company you’re going to set up, the nationalities of your shareholders, the expected volume of your transactions, and your personal preferences for banking features and services. Some banks are more open to certain types of companies and certain nationalities. Neyom Global’s part in the whole process is to match the right bank for your specific needs and profile, not necessarily the bank that’s the most popular.

Do I need to visit the bank in person?

While it’s not necessary for the entire team to visit the bank in person, all UAE-based banks require at least one visit for identification purposes and/or signing the account opening forms in the presence of the bank officer. However, we’ll be happy to brief you on the requirements so there are no surprises.

What are the minimum balances required for accounts in UAE banks?

The minimum balances vary from bank to bank and type of account. In the case of corporate accounts, the minimum balances vary from AED 25,000 to AED 50,000. However, in the case of personal accounts, the minimum balances vary from AED 3,000 to AED 10,000 depending on the type of personal accounts. All such details will be provided before you choose the bank.

What if my application for the bank account is rejected?

It is natural for such situations to occur even when the applications are well-prepared. Banks also have their own risk appetite and acceptance criteria, which are not always very transparent. If the bank turns down your application, we will work on the problem and find the best bank for you. Our job is to not only send in your application but also make sure it gets accepted.

Can Neyom Global assist with the company formation and bank account opening as well?

Of course! And to be honest, this is where we bring the most value to your business. When we’ve taken care of your company formation, we’ve got all we need to go right into your bank account opening process. There’s no waiting for another company to understand your business model. Clients who use us for both tend to get to their bank account faster and with fewer issues.
