RAKBANK is the National Bank of Ras Al Khaimah, known as the UAE's SME bank with an uncomplicated approach to small-business onboarding, and it is one of the banks GoldenKey regularly introduces new companies to. A UAE business account is the step that turns your licence into a working company, and RAKBANK is a sound candidate for many of the companies we form. On the ground, cleaning and maintenance staff work on client sites across the UAE, so a mainland licence with the right visa quota is essential. Labour accommodation rules apply once headcount grows. GoldenKey has licensed cleaning and facilities company businesses for clients in RAKBANK and knows which sub-activities to list so you are not asked to amend the licence later.
Why RAKBANK
Crucially, having a UAE residency visa and Emirates ID for at least one signatory makes a RAKBANK file noticeably smoother. If RAKBANK is not the right fit for your profile, we say so and introduce you to a bank that is, because a well-matched submission is approved faster. GoldenKey has licensed cleaning & facilities management in RAKBANK for clients ranging from solo company owners to groups opening a regional branch, so we know which sub-activities to list.
