WhatsApp quoteFrom day one, rAKBANK suits small and medium businesses, new companies and traders in the northern emirates, and its product range includes RAKstarter account, business current account, trade finance and business loans. In our experience, rAKBANK is the National Bank of Ras Al Khaimah, known as the UAE's SME bank with a straightforward approach to small-business onboarding, and it is one of the banks GoldenKey regularly introduces new companies to. Hungary and the UAE have expanded cooperation in agriculture, water and technology, which gives Hungarian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their RAKBANK licence is released. The most common businesses Hungarians open through GoldenKey are in healthcare, IT services, engineering and food exports, although RAKBANK supports almost any activity.
Why RAKBANK
GoldenKey prepares a one-page business profile, a projected cash-flow summary and a document pack in the format RAKBANK relationship managers expect. RAKBANK is a frequent first choice for Ajman, Sharjah and RAK free zone companies. Hungarian applicants benefit from the fact that RAKBANK already has many Hungarian shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Hungary documents and name formats instantly.

Why the UAE
The UAE sits within an eight-hour flight of two-thirds of the world's population, so so many entrepreneurs choose it as a base for a RAKBANK business account for Hungarian owners. In short, residence visas for owners and families come with the company, which makes a RAKBANK business account for Hungarian owners a route to relocation as well as a business decision.

Frequently asked questions
Can I open a RAKBANK account without a UAE residence visa?
Just as important, some banks consider non-resident company accounts, but most prefer a resident signatory. GoldenKey as a rule processes your investor visa before the bank application for that reason.
What if RAKBANK declines my application?
In short, 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 file elsewhere.
How long does RAKBANK take to open a business account?
To be clear, 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.
How long does the process take for Hungarian applicants?
Put simply, processing for Hungarians follows the same timeline as other nationalities. Documents from Hungary that need attestation are the main variable, and GoldenKey guides you through that step.
Can a Hungarian citizen own 100% of a company in RAKBANK?
Yes, it can. Hungarians can own the full share capital of a RAKBANK company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
