Adwise International offers personalized, professional-led assistance to private clients and corporate entities on structuring their financial affairs in compliance with the banking regime of the UAE. Here’s how our amazing staff works to keep this process streamlined, convenient, and stress-free.



Why Reliable Banking Matters in Dubai

DUBAI This country has a cosmopolitan local banking industry under the direction of the UAE central bank. Whether you are a resident or non-resident, holding a suitable bank account is very important for handling funds, payments and running of business. But stringent eligibility, documentation and local laws can make the process of opening an account challenging, particularly for foreign investors or business owners who may be new to the local system.



Our Streamlined Bank Account Opening Service

  • As an intermediary, Adwise International has good banking contacts, extensive regulatory expertise, and practical assistance to you in every step of the process:

Client Needs Assessment

We start by getting to know your business, what you’re up to, how much you expect to turn over, and how much you’d like to finance initially. This is so we can suggest the best bank based on your specific needs.

Document Preparation

  • We help with gathering and preparing all documentation and information, which may include:

  • Certified company incorporation documents

  • Business profile

  • Passport copies of all shareholders

  • CVs of shareholders

  • 6 months of personal bank statements for each shareholder

  • Copy of the Signatory’s Emirates ID and residence visa

  • Ejari (tenancy contract proof)


3. Liaising with Banks

We communicate directly with banks and manage follow-up queries, ensuring smooth coordination throughout. If you are unavailable to meet with the bank's verification agent, we can represent you to ensure the application progresses.

4. Flexible Application Modes

Depending on your location:

  • In-Person: Meet with a bank representative in Dubai to sign documents and finalize the application.

  • Online: For clients outside the UAE, we facilitate remote initiation through video or phone interviews, coordinating until the local visit is required.

Common Challenges and How to Overcome Them

Bank Account in Dubai: Not always as easy as it seems Opening a bank account in Dubai is not a cakewalk for non-residents – Especially when we heard such grapples for a simple account. Some challenges include:

Demanding formal checks – Many banks demand thorough background checks on companies and shareholders.

And then there’s the delay in approvals – you won’t waste much time when you have help from professionals!

Out-of-residence limitations – Some accounts are for local residents only, which might make things a bit confusing.

Documentation mistakes: Either failing to make submissions, submitting information that is incomplete, or inaccurate can lead to rejection.
