WhatsApp quoteEmirates 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. A UAE business account is the step that turns your licence into a working company, and Emirates Islamic is a sound candidate for many of the companies we form. From day one, manufacturing & Industrial in Emirates Islamic means producing, assembling, processing or packaging goods in a factory or industrial unit, and it is licensed as an industrial activity. As we tell every client, industrial licences require a physical unit, an environmental review and sometimes a Ministry of Industry registration. RAKEZ, SAIF Zone and Ajman offer the most affordable industrial land and warehouses.
Why Emirates Islamic
Emirates Islamic accounts integrate with the Emirates NBD business platform. Having a UAE UAE residence visa and Emirates ID for at least one signatory makes an Emirates Islamic submission noticeably smoother. For most clients, for manufacturing & industrial, Emirates Islamic offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.
