WhatsApp quoteDay to day, aDIB is Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, a leading Islamic lender with a modern digital platform and SME banking team, and it is one of the banks GoldenKey regularly introduces new companies to. GoldenKey does not promise bank approvals, because only the bank's compliance team can grant them; what we do is prepare your ADIB submission so thoroughly that there is little left to question. The most common businesses Belgians open through GoldenKey are in diamond trading, logistics, pharmaceuticals and chemicals, although ADIB supports almost any activity. the Antwerp-Dubai diamond corridor is one of the world's most important, anchored by DMCC, which gives Belgian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their ADIB licence is issued.
Why ADIB
Just as important, aDIB's SME team works well with Abu Dhabi mainland and free zone licences. Importantly, having a UAE residence visa and Emirates ID for at least one signatory makes an ADIB application noticeably smoother. GoldenKey has prepared ADIB files for Belgian clients in diamond trading, logistics, pharmaceuticals and chemicals, which means we know which Belgium documents need attestation and which can be submitted as plain copies.

Frequently asked questions
What if ADIB declines my application?
Put simply, we ask for the reason, address it if possible and apply to a better-matched bank. A decline at one bank does not affect your application elsewhere.
Can I open a ADIB account without a UAE residence visa?
Some banks consider non-resident company accounts, but most prefer a resident signatory. GoldenKey as a rule processes your investor visa before the bank application for that reason.
Is a minimum balance required at ADIB?
Put simply, most UAE banks apply a minimum average balance or a monthly fee below it. GoldenKey confirms the current ADIB terms for your package before you apply.
Can a Belgian citizen own 100% of a company in ADIB?
Yes. Belgians can own the full share capital of a ADIB company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Do Belgians need a UAE visa before applying for ADIB?
No. You can apply for the licence from Belgium with scanned documents, and the investor residence visa is processed afterwards.
