WhatsApp quoteJust as important, opening a business account with HSBC UAE is a realistic goal for a well-prepared company, and preparation is exactly what GoldenKey provides. A UAE business account is the step that turns your licence into a working company, and HSBC UAE is a sound candidate for many of the companies we form. In short, latvians are a small community in logistics, IT and timber trading, so the HSBC UAE authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Latvian applications every day and process them without hesitation. As we tell every client, the most common businesses Latvians open through GoldenKey are in logistics, IT services, timber exports and fintech, although HSBC UAE supports almost any activity.
Why HSBC UAE
From day one, having a UAE residence visa and Emirates ID for at least one signatory makes a HSBC UAE file noticeably smoother. Day to day, if HSBC UAE 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. For Latvians, the practical advantages of HSBC UAE are the ease of travel between Latvia and the UAE, English is the business language, and a banking system that processes euro (EUR) transfers daily.
