Emirates NBD Business Account for British nationals

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. Having a UAE residence visa and Emirates ID for at least one signatory makes an Emirates NBD application noticeably smoother. GoldenKey has prepared Emirates NBD files for British clients in consulting, financial services, real estate and education, which means we know which United Kingdom documents need attestation and which can be submitted as plain copies.
