WhatsApp quoteA 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. Ajman Bank suits Ajman Free Zone, Ajman mainland and northern emirates SMEs, and its product range includes business account, Islamic financing, corporate cards and deposit products. Importantly, for Russian founders, the UAE is around 5 to 6 hours from Moscow from Moscow, the UAE is 1 hour ahead of Moscow, and Russian-speaking consultants, bankers and lawyers are now easy to find in Dubai. GoldenKey has Russian clients from Moscow, Saint Petersburg and Kazan, and our consultants understand the papers issued in Russia and how to attest them for the UAE.
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 file is approved faster. In practice, 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. Many Russian entrepreneurs run Ajman Bank companies alongside an existing business in Russia, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.

Frequently asked questions
Is a minimum balance required at Ajman Bank?
Put simply, most UAE banks apply a minimum average balance or a monthly fee below it. GoldenKey confirms the current Ajman Bank terms for your package before you apply.
What if Ajman Bank declines my application?
In our experience, 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 a free zone company open an account with Ajman Bank?
Yes. Ajman Bank accepts companies from the main free zones, subject to its review. A clear activity and a UAE-resident signatory help.
Do Russians need a UAE visa before applying for Ajman Bank?
Not in that case. You can apply for the licence from Russia with scanned paperwork, and the investor residence visa is completed afterwards.
Can a Russian citizen own 100% of a company in Ajman Bank?
Yes. Russians can own the full share capital of a Ajman Bank company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
