WhatsApp quoteOpening a business account with Emirates NBD is a realistic goal for a well-prepared company, and preparation is exactly what GoldenKey provides. Emirates NBD suits well-documented trading, services and professional companies with a clear UAE presence, and its product range includes business current account, multi-currency account, corporate cards and trade finance. To be clear, austrians are a small community of engineers, hospitality managers and traders, so the Emirates NBD authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Austrian applications every day and process them without hesitation. To be clear, austrian firms supply building technology, rail and hospitality expertise to UAE projects, which gives Austrian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Emirates NBD licence is released.
Why Emirates NBD
Importantly, account opening at Emirates NBD is a compliance process, not a sales process: the bank wants to understand who you are, what you sell, who pays you and where the money comes from. Emirates NBD is known for wide branch network across all emirates, strong digital banking platform, multi-currency accounts and trade finance for established traders, and that is why we shortlist it for companies with that profile. Many Austrian business owners run Emirates NBD companies alongside an existing business in Austria, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.

Frequently asked questions
What if Emirates NBD declines my application?
As a rule, 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 I open a Emirates NBD account without a UAE residence visa?
Some banks consider non-resident company accounts, but most prefer a resident signatory. GoldenKey usually processes your investor visa before the bank application for that reason.
Is a minimum balance required at Emirates NBD?
Most UAE banks apply a minimum average balance or a monthly fee below it. GoldenKey confirms the current Emirates NBD terms for your package before you apply.
Can a Austrian citizen own 100% of a company in Emirates NBD?
Yes. Austrians can own the full share capital of a Emirates NBD company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Do Austrians need a UAE visa before applying for Emirates NBD?
No. You can apply for the licence from Austria with scanned paperwork, and the investor residency visa is processed afterwards.
