Banking FAQs
How long does it take to open a UAE corporate bank account?
Traditional banks like Emirates NBD and ADCB typically take 4–8 weeks due to thorough KYC processes. Digital banks like Wio can activate accounts in 3–10 days. Arab First works with multiple banks simultaneously to speed up the process.
Can I open a UAE bank account without being physically present?
Some banks require in-person ID verification. However, Arab First's relationships with multiple banks allow us to identify which banks accept video KYC or document-based verification. We will advise on the best option based on your situation.
What is the minimum balance requirement for UAE business accounts?
Minimum balance requirements vary: RAK Bank starts from AED 10,000, Emirates NBD from AED 25,000, and ADCB from AED 50,000 for corporate accounts. Digital banks like Wio have no minimum balance. We recommend based on your expected transaction volume.
My company was rejected by one bank — can you help?
Yes. Bank rejections are common for new businesses, especially those in certain sectors (crypto, fintech, some trading activities). Arab First has relationships with 8+ banks and knows which institutions are most open to different business types. We reroute rejected applications to more suitable banks.
Can I get a multi-currency account in the UAE?
Yes. Most UAE banks offer multi-currency accounts holding AED, USD, EUR, GBP, and other major currencies. This is particularly valuable for businesses conducting international trade. We help you identify the best multi-currency account for your transaction patterns.
Does Arab First charge for the bank introduction service?
Bank account introduction is included in all Arab First business setup packages. For standalone bank account opening (for already-formed companies), a separate fee applies. Contact us for a quote.
