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. GoldenKey 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. On the ground, manufacturing & Industrial in Wio Bank means producing, assembling, processing or packaging goods in a factory or industrial unit, and it is licensed as an industrial activity. GoldenKey has licensed manufacturing company businesses for clients in Wio Bank and knows which sub-activities to list so you are not asked to amend the licence later.
Why Wio Bank
Wio Bank is known for fully digital opening, no branch visits, transparent fees and fast decisions for eligible licences, so we shortlist it for companies with that profile. Having a UAE residency visa and Emirates ID for at least one signatory makes a Wio Bank request noticeably smoother. For manufacturing & industrial, Wio Bank offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.
