Emirates Islamic Business Account for Pakistanis

The Islamic banking arm of the Emirates NBD group, combining Sharia compliance with the group's digital platform

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 request so thoroughly that there is little left to question. The most common businesses Pakistanis open through GoldenKey are in trading, textiles and garments, logistics and construction, although Emirates Islamic supports almost any activity. GoldenKey has Pakistani clients from Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad, and our consultants understand the papers issued in Pakistan and how to attest them for the UAE.

Why Emirates Islamic

Having a UAE residence visa and Emirates ID for at least one signatory makes an Emirates Islamic request noticeably smoother. 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 application is approved faster. GoldenKey has prepared Emirates Islamic files for Pakistani clients in trading, textiles and garments, logistics and construction, which means we know which Pakistan documents need attestation and which can be submitted as plain copies.

Frequently asked questions

Does GoldenKey guarantee a Emirates Islamic account?

No consultant can. Emirates Islamic's compliance team makes the decision. What GoldenKey does is prepare a complete, consistent application and introduce you to the right banking officer, which is where most of the difference is made.

Is a minimum balance required at Emirates Islamic?

Most UAE banks apply a minimum average balance or a monthly fee below it. GoldenKey confirms the current Emirates Islamic terms for your package before you apply.

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.

Can a Pakistani citizen own 100% of a company in Emirates Islamic?

Yes. Pakistanis can own the full share capital of a Emirates Islamic company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.

Do Pakistanis need a UAE visa before applying for Emirates Islamic?

No. You can apply for the licence from Pakistan with scanned documents, and the investor UAE residence visa is processed afterwards.
