If you intend to use your bank account to do business in the UAE, you must create a corporate bank account. You must register a corporate account since UAE legislation bans you from conducting business with a personal account.
In general, business accounts should be current accounts. This is done so that they can process a huge volume of transactions. It normally takes two to four weeks to open a current corporate account in the UAE.
With these documents in hand, you’ll be all set to open a bank account.
