WhatsApp quoteTo be clear, opening a business account with Sharjah Islamic Bank is a realistic goal for a well-prepared company, and preparation is exactly what GoldenKey provides. Sharjah Islamic Bank is a well-regarded Islamic bank headquartered in Sharjah with practical SME onboarding for northern emirates companies, and it is one of the banks GoldenKey regularly introduces new companies to. As a rule, romanian IT talent and construction firms are well represented in Dubai, which gives Romanian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Sharjah Islamic Bank licence is granted. Day to day, the most common businesses Romanians open through GoldenKey are in IT and software, hospitality, construction and aviation, although Sharjah Islamic Bank supports almost any activity.
Why Sharjah Islamic Bank
If Sharjah Islamic Bank is not the right fit for your profile, we say so and introduce you to a bank that is, because a well-matched file is approved faster. Having a UAE residence visa and Emirates ID for at least one signatory makes a Sharjah Islamic Bank request noticeably smoother. From day one, romanian applicants benefit from the fact that Sharjah Islamic Bank already has many Romanian shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Romania documents and name formats instantly.

Frequently asked questions
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 request and introduce you to the right banking officer, which is where most of the difference is made.
How long does Sharjah Islamic Bank take to open a business account?
In short, 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.
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 usually processes your investor visa before the bank application for that reason.
Can a Romanian citizen own 100% of a company in Sharjah Islamic Bank?
Yes — Romanians can own the full share capital of a Sharjah Islamic Bank company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Is there a double taxation agreement between Romania and the UAE?
Yes. The UAE and Romania have a double taxation agreement, and a UAE tax residency certificate lets you claim treaty relief on qualifying income. GoldenKey can obtain the certificate once your company is established.
