HSBC UAE Business Account for Romanians

The UAE arm of the global HSBC group, suited to internationally connected businesses and existing HSBC clients

Day to day, 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. Romanian IT talent and construction firms are well represented in Dubai, which gives Romanian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their HSBC UAE licence is issued. Crucially, payments between Romania and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, Romanian leu (RON) transfers settle quickly and UAE banks are familiar with Romanian business profiles.

Why HSBC UAE

In our experience, having a UAE residence visa and Emirates ID for at least one signatory makes a HSBC UAE application noticeably smoother. As we tell every client, hSBC UAE is known for global network, international payments, multi-currency accounts and corporate treasury services, which is why we shortlist it for companies with that profile. GoldenKey has prepared HSBC UAE files for Romanian customers in IT and software, hospitality, construction and aviation, which means we know which Romania documents need attestation and which can be submitted as plain copies.
