WhatsApp quoteIn practice, opening a business account with HSBC UAE is a realistic goal for a well-prepared company, and preparation is exactly what GoldenKey provides. In our experience, hSBC UAE is the UAE arm of the global HSBC group, suited to internationally connected businesses and existing HSBC clients, and it is one of the banks GoldenKey regularly introduces new companies to. Poland is one of the fastest-growing EU exporters to the UAE, led by furniture, cosmetics and food, which gives Polish entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their HSBC UAE licence is issued. Crucially, the most common businesses Poles open through GoldenKey are in IT and software, furniture, cosmetics and food exports, although HSBC UAE supports almost any activity.
Why HSBC UAE
As a rule, hSBC generally prefers businesses with substantial turnover and international links. In short, 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 Poles, the practical advantages of HSBC UAE are the ease of travel between Poland and the UAE, English is widely spoken among Polish professionals, and a banking system that processes Polish złoty (PLN) transfers daily.
