The two things that actually block you.
A company without a bank account isn't a business. And a licence without residency isn't a base. We handle both - the applications, the preparation, and the introductions that clear.
What you actually get.
We know which institutions onboard which profiles. Applying to the wrong bank costs you weeks and leaves a record.
Business description, source of funds, ownership chain and supporting documents assembled the way compliance teams want to receive them.
Accounts that support the currencies you actually invoice and pay in, rather than forcing conversions.
Where your business touches digital assets, we target institutions that will onboard it instead of pretending it isn't there.
Entry permit, medical, biometrics and Emirates ID - the full sequence, coordinated around one short trip.
Once you hold residency, sponsoring dependants and employees under your licence allocation.
Visa and licence renewals tracked on your compliance calendar so nothing lapses.
If your profile is hard to bank, we'll tell you before you pay us, not after.
The process.
Your activity, customers, ownership and jurisdiction determine which institutions are realistic. We start here.
Documents, business description and source-of-funds evidence assembled properly.
We introduce you to the right institution and submit a complete application.
Compliance teams come back with questions. We handle the back-and-forth rather than leaving you to guess.
For UAE clients, we run the residency process in parallel and coordinate it around one trip.
Short version.
No, and be sceptical of anyone who does - the decision belongs to the bank's compliance team. What we can do is target the right institutions and present a complete, credible file, which is what actually moves the odds.
Days for many neobanks and digital providers; several weeks for traditional banks, longer if the structure is complex. We give you a realistic range for your specific profile.
Increasingly not - many institutions onboard remotely or by video. Some traditional banks still prefer to meet a director. We'll tell you which route your profile suits.
There are routes that don't involve company formation, but the most common path for founders is a Free Zone licence with visa allocation, which we handle end to end.
Want this handled?
One short form. We come back within a business day with scope and an itemised quote.
