Frequently asked questions
How long does Mashreq NeoBiz take to open a business account?
In our experience, 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.
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.
Is a minimum balance required at Mashreq NeoBiz?
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 South Korean citizen own 100% of a company in Mashreq NeoBiz?
Absolutely. South Koreans can own the full share capital of a Mashreq NeoBiz company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Do South Koreans need a UAE visa before applying for Mashreq NeoBiz?
Not in that case. You can apply for the licence from South Korea with scanned documents, and the investor residence visa is processed afterwards.
