WhatsApp quoteOpening a business account with Ajman Bank is a realistic goal for a well-prepared company, and preparation is exactly what GoldenKey provides. GoldenKey does not promise bank approvals, because only the bank's compliance team can grant them; what we do is prepare your Ajman Bank application so thoroughly that there is little left to question. The most common businesses Australians open through GoldenKey are in education, construction, hospitality and sports, although Ajman Bank supports almost any activity. the UAE is Australia's largest trade and investment partner in the Middle East, with a CEPA concluded in 2024, which gives Australian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Ajman Bank licence is granted.
Why Ajman Bank
GoldenKey prepares a one-page business profile, a projected cash-flow summary and a document pack in the format Ajman Bank relationship managers expect. Having a UAE residence visa and Emirates ID for at least one signatory makes an Ajman Bank application noticeably smoother. Put simply, for Australians, the practical advantages of Ajman Bank are the ease of travel between Australia and the UAE, English is the working language, and a banking system that processes Australian dollar (AUD) transfers daily.

Frequently asked questions
What if Ajman Bank declines my application?
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 file elsewhere.
Does GoldenKey guarantee a Ajman Bank account?
No case manager can. Ajman Bank's compliance team makes the decision. What GoldenKey does is prepare a complete, consistent application and introduce you to the right banking officer, which is where most of the difference is made.
How long does Ajman Bank take to open a business account?
Timelines vary with the bank's workload and the complexity of your profile. Simple service companies with a resident signatory are generally faster; trading companies with many countries of operation take longer.
Can a Australian citizen own 100% of a company in Ajman Bank?
Absolutely. Australians can own the full share capital of a Ajman Bank company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Is there a double taxation agreement between Australia and the UAE?
The UAE and Australia do not currently have a comprehensive double taxation agreement, so you should plan with a tax adviser in Australia. The UAE itself charges no personal income tax and 9% corporate tax above AED 375,000.
