Overview

Dubai companies seeking local banking need to satisfy institution-specific KYC, source-of-funds, business-model and substance review.

Coutts coordinates the application without guaranteeing acceptance. Coutts Consultants coordinates dubai corporate bank account introduction as a defined Dubai engagement.

We first establish the client's commercial objective and review company, licence, UBOs, signatories, business model, Dubai/UAE nexus, turnover, countries, source of funds and KYC. Dubai has several distinct licensing and regulatory environments—including mainland licensing, specialist free zones, DIFC and the VARA virtual-asset regime—so the correct route is selected around the actual activity rather than a generic package. We then coordinate the required authority, bank or professional work.

Reserved legal, tax, audit, immigration or regulated financial-services work is undertaken by appropriately qualified UAE professionals, and every licence, visa, account or regulatory approval remains subject to the competent authority or institution.
