WhatsApp quoteEmirates 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. A UAE business account is the step that turns your licence into a working company, and Emirates NBD is a sound candidate for many of the companies we form. Greeks are a community concentrated in shipping, hospitality, construction and food, so the Emirates NBD authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Greek applications every day and process them without hesitation. GoldenKey has Greek customers from Athens, Thessaloniki and Piraeus, and our consultants understand the paperwork issued in Greece and how to attest them for the UAE.
Why Emirates NBD
From day one, having a UAE residency visa and Emirates ID for at least one signatory makes an Emirates NBD application noticeably smoother. GoldenKey prepares a one-page business profile, a projected cash-flow summary and a document pack in the format Emirates NBD relationship managers expect. For Greeks, the practical advantages of Emirates NBD are the ease of travel between Greece and the UAE, English is the business language, and a banking system that processes euro (EUR) transfers daily.
