Open A Business Account In the UAE
For international companies operating in the UAE that need control over payments, FX, and cross-border flows
Overview
If your company operates in the UAE but lacks appropriate banking and payment infrastructure, you are likely experiencing delays, restrictions, and unnecessary operational friction.
Many international and foreign-owned companies operating in the UAE face the same issues:
Challenge 1: Non-resident ownership friction
Accounts are often delayed or restricted due to non-resident directors, offshore shareholders, or complex group structures. This results in longer onboarding timelines, conditional approvals, or operational limits once live.
Challenge 2: Outbound payment limits
Many companies face caps, enhanced reviews, or additional approvals when sending funds outside the UAE. This creates cash flow uncertainty, execution delays, and increased administrative burden.
Challenge 3: FX pricing inefficiency
Converting currencies through local banks often results in wide spreads and inconsistent pricing, particularly for frequent or large transactions. Over time, this quietly erodes margins and impacts treasury efficiency.
Challenge 4: Payments to hard-to-reach corridors
Sending funds to certain countries — including China, Brazil, Africa, and parts of Asia or Latin America — can trigger delays, enhanced reviews, or payment re-routing, even for legitimate transactions.
