Frequently asked questions
Is a minimum balance required at Sharjah Islamic Bank?
From day one, most UAE banks apply a minimum average balance or a monthly fee below it. GoldenKey confirms the current Sharjah Islamic Bank terms for your package before you apply.
Can a free zone company open an account with Sharjah Islamic Bank?
Yes. Sharjah Islamic Bank accepts companies from the main free zones, subject to its review. A clear activity and a UAE-resident signatory help.
Does GoldenKey guarantee a Sharjah Islamic Bank account?
No consultant can. Sharjah Islamic Bank'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.
What if Sharjah Islamic Bank declines my application?
In our experience, 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 request elsewhere.
Can I open a Sharjah Islamic Bank account without a UAE residence visa?
Some banks consider non-resident company accounts, but most prefer a resident signatory. GoldenKey generally processes your investor visa before the bank application for that reason.
