Why Mashreq
As a rule, account opening at Mashreq is a compliance process, not a sales process: the bank wants to understand who you are, what you sell, who pays you and where the money comes from. If Mashreq is not the right fit for your profile, we say so and introduce you to a bank that is, because a well-matched application is approved faster. To be clear, for Slovaks, the practical advantages of Mashreq are the ease of travel between Slovakia and the UAE, English is the business language, and a banking system that processes euro (EUR) transfers daily.
