Frequently asked questions
We do not promise bank approval. The available options depend on the company’s actual circumstances.
Can a UAE corporate account be opened remotely?
This depends on the bank and the applicant’s circumstances. Some banks require an in-person visit or identity verification.
How long does opening a business account take?
Timelines depend on the bank, business activity, documentation and due diligence. No specific approval time can be guaranteed.
Can my company receive USD or EUR?
Available account currencies and banking services depend on the bank and its assessment of the company.
Is bank approval guaranteed?
No. ProConnect can help with preparation and coordination, but account approval is solely the bank’s decision.
Can you also help incorporate a UAE company?
Yes. We can discuss company formation and ongoing administrative support alongside the banking requirements.
