Mashreq NeoBiz suits new companies and freelancers that want a digital-first account, and its product range includes NeoBiz account, debit card, payment gateway and invoicing tools. Mashreq NeoBiz is Mashreq's digital SME proposition with online request and quick activation for eligible businesses, and it is one of the banks GoldenKey regularly introduces new companies to. Payments between Italy and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, euro (EUR) transfers settle fast and UAE banks are familiar with Italian business profiles. The most common businesses Italians open through GoldenKey are in food and beverage, fashion, furniture and interiors and engineering, although Mashreq NeoBiz supports almost any activity.
Why Mashreq NeoBiz
Just as important, mashreq NeoBiz is known for online application, quick activation, start-up pricing and integrated payment tools, which is why we shortlist it for companies with that profile. NeoBiz is often the fastest route to a first UAE business account for new licences. Many Italian business owners run Mashreq NeoBiz companies alongside an existing business in Italy, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.
