Ajman Bank Account for Import & Export Businesses

Importing goods into the UAE and exporting or re-exporting them to regional and global markets

Ajman Bank is Ajman's own Islamic bank, close to the Ajman Free Zone and mainland business community, 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 Ajman Bank application so thoroughly that there is little left to question. Typical examples of this activity include food re-export, auto parts, textiles and machinery, which can usually sit together on one Ajman Bank licence. In short, import & Export in Ajman Bank means importing goods into the UAE and exporting or re-exporting them to regional and global markets, and it is licensed as a commercial activity.

Why Ajman Bank

If Ajman Bank 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. As a rule, account opening at Ajman Bank 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. From day one, for import & export, Ajman Bank offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.

Why the UAE

Since 2021, most mainland activities have allowed 100% foreign ownership, and free zones have always offered it, so an Ajman Bank account for an import-export business no longer requires a local partner.
