WhatsApp quoteOpening a business account with Emirates Islamic is a realistic goal for a well-prepared company, and preparation is exactly what GoldenKey provides. Emirates Islamic is the Islamic banking arm of the Emirates NBD group, combining Sharia compliance with the group's digital platform, and it is one of the banks GoldenKey regularly introduces new companies to. For most clients, latvian logistics and timber exporters use Dubai as a Middle East distribution point, which gives Latvian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Emirates Islamic licence is issued. Payments between Latvia and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, euro (EUR) transfers settle promptly and UAE banks are familiar with Latvian business profiles.
Why Emirates Islamic
Emirates Islamic is known for Sharia-compliant products, Emirates NBD group infrastructure, business banking packages and branch network, which is why we shortlist it for companies with that profile. Emirates Islamic accounts integrate with the Emirates NBD business platform. Latvian applicants benefit from the fact that Emirates Islamic already has many Latvian shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Latvia supporting documents and name formats instantly.

Why the UAE
The UAE sits within an eight-hour flight of two-thirds of the world's population, which is why so many company owners choose it as a base for an Emirates Islamic business account for Latvian owners. From day one, since 2021, most mainland activities have allowed 100% foreign ownership, and free zones have always offered it, so an Emirates Islamic business account for Latvian owners no longer requires a local partner.
Why GoldenKey
Most of our Emirates Islamic clients come to us through referrals from other company owners, which is why we take pride in keeping every promise we put in writing. As a rule, we speak the languages our clients speak, including English, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu and Malayalam, and we can arrange Russian, French and Mandarin support for an Emirates Islamic business account for Latvian owners. On the ground, our office is a short drive from the Ajman Free Zone, Ajman DED and the immigration centre, so physical submissions for an Emirates Islamic business account for Latvian owners happen the same day they are ready.

Frequently asked questions
Can I open a Emirates Islamic account without a UAE residence visa?
Just as important, some banks consider non-resident company accounts, but most prefer a resident signatory. GoldenKey generally processes your investor visa before the bank application for that reason.
Can a free zone company open an account with Emirates Islamic?
Absolutely. Emirates Islamic accepts companies from the main free zones, subject to its review. A clear activity and a UAE-resident signatory help.
What if Emirates Islamic declines my application?
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.
Do Latvians need a UAE visa before applying for Emirates Islamic?
No. You can apply for the licence from Latvia with scanned documents, and the investor residence visa is handled afterwards.
Can a Latvian citizen own 100% of a company in Emirates Islamic?
Yes. Latvians can own the full share capital of a Emirates Islamic company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
