WhatsApp quoteFrom day one, wio Bank is the UAE's first fully digital business bank, launched in 2022 with app-based onboarding for SMEs and free zone companies, and it is one of the banks GoldenKey regularly introduces new companies to. Opening a business account with Wio Bank is a realistic goal for a well-prepared company, and preparation is exactly what GoldenKey provides. GoldenKey has Belgian clients from Brussels, Antwerp and Ghent, and our consultants understand the papers released in Belgium and how to attest them for the UAE. Belgians are a compact community with strength in diamonds, logistics and pharmaceuticals, so the Wio Bank authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Belgian applications every day and process them without hesitation.
Why Wio Bank

GoldenKey has prepared Wio Bank files for Belgian customers in diamond trading, logistics, pharmaceuticals and chemicals, which means we know which Belgium papers need attestation and which can be submitted as plain copies.

Frequently asked questions
What if Wio Bank declines my application?
As a rule, 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.
Does GoldenKey guarantee a Wio Bank account?
No case manager can. Wio 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.
How long does Wio Bank take to open a business account?
Put simply, 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 a Belgian citizen own 100% of a company in Wio Bank?
Absolutely. Belgians can own the full share capital of a Wio Bank company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
How long does the process take for Belgian applicants?
From day one, processing for Belgians follows the same timeline as other nationalities. Documents from Belgium that need attestation are the main variable, and GoldenKey guides you through that step.
