Frequently asked questions

Does GoldenKey guarantee a Mashreq NeoBiz account?

No adviser can. Mashreq NeoBiz's compliance team makes the decision. What GoldenKey does is prepare a complete, consistent application and introduce you to the right banking officer, which is where most of the difference is made.

Is a minimum balance required at Mashreq NeoBiz?

In our experience, most UAE banks apply a minimum average balance or a monthly fee below it. GoldenKey confirms the current Mashreq NeoBiz terms for your package before you apply.

Can a free zone company open an account with Mashreq NeoBiz?

Yes. Mashreq NeoBiz accepts companies from the main free zones, subject to its review. A clear activity and a UAE-resident signatory help.

How long does Mashreq NeoBiz take to open a business account?

Timelines vary with the bank's workload and the complexity of your profile. Simple service companies with a resident signatory are generally faster; trading companies with many countries of operation take longer.
