WhatsApp quoteGoldenKey does not promise bank approvals, because only the bank's compliance team can grant them; what we do is prepare your Wio Bank application so thoroughly that there is little left to question. A UAE business account is the step that turns your licence into a working company, and Wio Bank is a sound candidate for many of the companies we form. In our experience, typical examples of this activity include management consultancy, HR consultancy, marketing consultancy and project management, which can typically sit together on one Wio Bank licence. GoldenKey has licensed consulting practice businesses for clients in Wio Bank and knows which sub-activities to list so you are not asked to amend the licence later.

GoldenKey prepares a one-page business profile, a projected cash-flow summary and a document pack in the format Wio Bank relationship managers expect. GoldenKey has licensed business consulting in Wio Bank for clients ranging from solo founders to groups opening a regional branch, so we know which sub-activities to list.
