ADCB Account for Travel & Tourism Agency Businesses

Why ADCB

As we tell every client, account opening at ADCB is a compliance process, not a sales process: the bank wants to understand who you are, what you sell, who pays you and where the money comes from. To be clear, aDCB's SME team often reviews free zone companies favourably when the owner is UAE-resident. In practice, aDCB is a sensible home for travel & tourism agency because inbound and outbound travel, tour operating, ticketing and holiday packages is a well-understood activity there and the approvals are routine.

Documents required

The document list for an ADCB account for a travel agency is short, and most customers already have everything on it.

• Sample invoices, contracts or purchase orders where available
• A CV for each shareholder and the company's website or social links
• Passport, visa and Emirates ID copies of all shareholders and signatories
• Proof of residential address for each signatory
• A business profile describing products, customers, suppliers and countries of operation
• Office tenancy contract or flexi-desk agreement

Pricing

Pricing for an ADCB account for a travel agency depends on the package you choose; every option below includes GoldenKey's service and the government fees stated. The figures below for an ADCB account for a travel agency are updated by GoldenKey whenever the registrar changes its fees, so the price you see is the current one.

Why the UAE

Put simply, since 2021, most mainland activities have allowed 100% foreign ownership, and free zones have always offered it, so an ADCB account for a travel agency no longer requires a local partner. The UAE's reputation as a trading hub means international clients and suppliers already trust a UAE licence, which shortens sales cycles for an ADCB account for a travel agency.
