WhatsApp quoteDay to day, 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. Opening a business account with RAKBANK is a realistic goal for a well-prepared company, and preparation is exactly what GoldenKey provides. The most common businesses Egyptians open through GoldenKey are in consulting, engineering, media and education, although RAKBANK supports almost any activity. Egyptians are one of the largest Arab communities in the UAE, with several hundred thousand residents across all seven emirates, so the RAKBANK authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Egyptian applications every day and process them without hesitation.
Why RAKBANK
RAKBANK is known for SME specialist, practical documentation requirements, good for northern emirates businesses and RAKstarter package for new companies, so we shortlist it for companies with that profile. For most clients, 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 application is approved faster. GoldenKey has prepared RAKBANK files for Egyptian clients in consulting, engineering, media and education, which means we know which Egypt documents need attestation and which can be submitted as plain copies.

Frequently asked questions
Does GoldenKey guarantee a RAKBANK account?
No case manager can. RAKBANK'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.
Is a minimum balance required at RAKBANK?
Most UAE banks apply a minimum average balance or a monthly fee below it. GoldenKey confirms the current RAKBANK terms for your package before you apply.
Can I open a RAKBANK account without a UAE residence visa?
Some banks consider non-resident company accounts, but most prefer a resident signatory. GoldenKey typically processes your investor visa before the bank application for that reason.
Can a Egyptian citizen own 100% of a company in RAKBANK?
Yes. Egyptians can own the full share capital of a RAKBANK company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
How long does the process take for Egyptian applicants?
As we tell every client, processing for Egyptians follows the same timeline as other nationalities. Documents from Egypt that need attestation are the main variable, and GoldenKey guides you through that step.
