WhatsApp quoteFrom day one, mashreq NeoBiz is Mashreq's digital SME proposition with online application and quick activation for eligible businesses, and it is one of the banks GoldenKey regularly introduces new companies to. Opening a business account with Mashreq NeoBiz is a realistic goal for a well-prepared company, and preparation is exactly what GoldenKey provides. Importantly, the most common businesses Indians open through GoldenKey are in trading, IT and software, retail and construction, although Mashreq NeoBiz supports almost any activity.

Frequently asked questions
Does GoldenKey guarantee a Mashreq NeoBiz account?
No consultant 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.
Can I open a Mashreq NeoBiz account without a UAE residence visa?
On the ground, some banks consider non-resident company accounts, but most prefer a resident signatory. GoldenKey usually processes your investor visa before the bank application for that reason.
What if Mashreq NeoBiz declines my application?
We ask for the reason, address it if possible and apply to a better-matched bank. A decline at one bank does not affect your application elsewhere.
Can a Indian citizen own 100% of a company in Mashreq NeoBiz?
It can. Indians can own the full share capital of a Mashreq NeoBiz company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Is there a double taxation agreement between India and the UAE?
Absolutely. The UAE and India have a double taxation agreement, and a UAE tax residency certificate lets you claim treaty relief on qualifying income. GoldenKey can obtain the certificate once your company is established.
