ADIB Business Account for UAE nationals and residents

Why ADIB

As we tell every client, if ADIB 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. ADIB is known for Sharia-compliant banking, digital account services, strong Abu Dhabi presence and business financing, which is why we shortlist it for companies with that profile. For most clients, many Emirati founders run ADIB companies alongside an existing business in United Arab Emirates, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.

   Step 2

   Document pack

   Step 3

   Introduction and meeting

   Put simply, we arrange the meeting with an ADIB relationship manager and sit alongside you to answer compliance questions.

   Step 4

   Compliance and activation

   To be clear, the bank's compliance team reviews the file, may ask follow-up questions that we help you answer, and activates the account on approval. If the authority raises a query on an ADIB business account for Emirati owners at this stage, we handle it the same day.
