RAKBANK Business Account for French nationals

Why RAKBANK

In short, having a UAE residency visa and Emirates ID for at least one signatory makes a RAKBANK submission noticeably smoother. As we tell every client, account opening at RAKBANK 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. French applicants benefit from the fact that RAKBANK already has many French shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise France documents and name formats instantly.

Why the UAE

The UAE sits within an eight-hour flight of two-thirds of the world's population, which is why so many founders choose it as a base for a RAKBANK business account for French owners. As we tell every client, since 2021, most mainland activities have allowed 100% foreign ownership, and free zones have always offered it, so a RAKBANK business account for French owners no longer requires a local partner.
