Open Bank account
Open a bank account with any of the UAE’s most trusted banks
Must Know
In-person application:
Your physical presence will be required during the application, so you can meet the bank representative, sign the application form and submit the required documents.
Online application:
If you are outside of the UAE, you can initiate your bank account opening through an online process. Your presence will still be required either via a phone call or an online meeting. Once the application is approved, you will be required by the bank to come to the UAE to sign the account opening form.
Processing Time
The standard processing time can take 14 days for digital applications or 25 working days or more for in-person applications, depending on the complexity of the application.
