WhatsApp quoteAjman 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. A UAE business account is the step that turns your licence into a working company, and Ajman Bank is a sound candidate for many of the companies we form. In short, restaurant & Café in Ajman Bank means operating a dine-in restaurant, café, cloud kitchen or food truck, and it is licensed as a commercial activity. Typical examples of this activity include café, cloud kitchen, fine dining and catering, which can usually sit together on one Ajman Bank licence.
Why Ajman Bank
Just as important, 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. Having a UAE residence visa and Emirates ID for at least one signatory makes an Ajman Bank request noticeably smoother. Ajman Bank is a sensible home for restaurant & café because operating a dine-in restaurant, café, cloud kitchen or food truck is a well-understood activity there and the approvals are routine.
