WhatsApp quoteIn our experience, 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 application so thoroughly that there is little left to question. Slovaks are a small community in automotive, IT and hospitality, so the Emirates Islamic authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Slovak applications every day and process them without hesitation. Day to day, for Slovak founders, the UAE is around 6 hours via Vienna from Bratislava, the UAE is 2 to 3 hours ahead of Slovakia, and English is the business language.
Why Emirates Islamic
For most clients, 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. Emirates Islamic accounts integrate with the Emirates NBD business platform. As we tell every client, for Slovaks, the practical advantages of Emirates Islamic are the ease of travel between Slovakia and the UAE, English is the business language, and a banking system that processes euro (EUR) transfers daily.
