WhatsApp quoteAs we tell every client, opening a business account with ADCB is a realistic goal for a well-prepared company, and preparation is exactly what GoldenKey provides. For most clients, aDCB suits SMEs with UAE operations, especially those serving Abu Dhabi corporates and government, and its product range includes business current account, SME package, corporate cards and merchant services. Manufacturing & Industrial in ADCB means producing, assembling, processing or packaging goods in a factory or industrial unit, and it is licensed as an industrial activity. Typical examples of this activity include food processing, packaging, furniture production and plastics, which can usually sit together on one ADCB licence.
Why ADCB
Having a UAE residence visa and Emirates ID for at least one signatory makes an ADCB application noticeably smoother. If ADCB is not the right fit for your profile, we say so and introduce you to a bank that is, because a well-matched application is approved faster. ADCB is a sensible home for manufacturing & industrial because producing, assembling, processing or packaging goods in a factory or industrial unit is a well-understood activity there and the approvals are routine.

Why the UAE
On the ground, since 2021, most mainland activities have allowed 100% foreign ownership, and free zones have always offered it, so an ADCB account for a manufacturing company no longer requires a local partner. The dirham has been pegged to the US dollar since 1997, which removes currency risk for an ADCB account for a manufacturing company and makes international pricing simple.
