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 is the world's first full-service Islamic bank, offering Sharia-compliant business accounts and financing, and it is one of the banks GoldenKey regularly introduces new companies to. The most common businesses Turkish nationals open through GoldenKey are in construction, textiles and garments, food and beverage and furniture, although Dubai Islamic Bank supports almost any activity. As we tell every client, turkish construction groups, food brands and textile exporters are major players in the UAE market, which gives Turkish entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Dubai Islamic Bank licence is issued.
Why Dubai Islamic Bank
If Dubai Islamic Bank is not the right fit for your profile, we say so and introduce you to a bank that is, because a well-matched request is approved faster. Account opening at Dubai Islamic 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. In practice, many Turkish business owners run Dubai Islamic Bank companies alongside an existing business in Türkiye, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.
