WhatsApp quoteA UAE business account is the step that turns your licence into a working company, and Dubai Islamic Bank is a sound candidate for many of the companies we form. Dubai Islamic Bank suits businesses that want Sharia-compliant banking with a large UAE network, and its product range includes Islamic business account, Murabaha trade finance, corporate cards and Wakala deposits. For Thai company owners, the UAE is around 6.5 hours from Bangkok, 3 hours ahead of the UAE, and English is the working language. In short, thai food, hospitality and jewellery brands have a strong presence in the UAE market, which gives Thai entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Dubai Islamic Bank licence is issued.
