WhatsApp quoteJust as important, opening a business account with Emirates Islamic is a realistic goal for a well-prepared company, and preparation is exactly what GoldenKey provides. GoldenKey does not promise bank approvals, because only the bank's compliance team can grant them; what we do is prepare your Emirates Islamic file so thoroughly that there is little left to question. The most common businesses Belgians open through GoldenKey are in diamond trading, logistics, pharmaceuticals and chemicals, although Emirates Islamic supports almost any activity. the Antwerp-Dubai diamond corridor is one of the world's most important, anchored by DMCC, which gives Belgian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Emirates Islamic licence is granted.
Why Emirates Islamic
If Emirates Islamic is not the right fit for your profile, we say so and introduce you to a bank that is, because a well-matched submission is approved faster. Emirates Islamic is known for Sharia-compliant products, Emirates NBD group infrastructure, business banking packages and branch network, and for that reason we shortlist it for companies with that profile. Many Belgian founders run Emirates Islamic companies alongside an existing business in Belgium, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.
