WhatsApp quoteGoldenKey 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. 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. The most common businesses Americans open through GoldenKey are in technology, consulting, energy and education, although Ajman Bank supports almost any activity. As we tell every client, americans are a community of more than 50,000 residents, with a strong presence in energy, defence, finance, education and technology, so the Ajman Bank authority, the banks and the immigration officers see American applications every day and process them without hesitation.
Why Ajman Bank
In practice, having a UAE residence visa and Emirates ID for at least one signatory makes an Ajman Bank application noticeably smoother. GoldenKey works regularly with Ajman Bank for Ajman-licensed clients. GoldenKey has prepared Ajman Bank files for American clients in technology, consulting, energy and education, which means we know which United States documents need attestation and which can be submitted as plain copies.

The UAE sits within an eight-hour flight of two-thirds of the world's population, which is why so many founders choose it as a base for an Ajman Bank business account for American owners.

Frequently asked questions
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 file and introduce you to the right banking officer, which is where most of the difference is made.
Is a minimum balance required at Ajman Bank?
In short, 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.
Can a free zone company open an account with Ajman Bank?
It can. Ajman Bank accepts companies from the main free zones, subject to its review. A clear activity and a UAE-resident signatory help.
Is there a double taxation agreement between United States and the UAE?
As a rule, the UAE and United States do not currently have a comprehensive double taxation agreement, so you should plan with a tax adviser in United States. The UAE itself charges no personal income tax and 9% corporate tax above AED 375,000.
Can a American citizen own 100% of a company in Ajman Bank?
It can. Americans can own the full share capital of a Ajman Bank company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
