Bank Account for an Ajman Media City Company

Why Ajman Media City

For most clients, popular activities in Ajman Media City include media production, digital marketing, broadcasting, publishing and advertising, and most of them can be combined on a single licence. As we tell every client, unlike some zones, Ajman Media City does not require a large paid-up capital to be blocked in a bank account before the licence is released. Put simply, one of the reasons we recommend Ajman Media City is its specialised media licences, which matters more than most founders realise once the business is running.

   Step 4

   Licence issued and next steps

If the first bank declines

A decline from one bank does not affect another. We ask for the reason, adjust the profile if needed and apply to a better-matched bank; Ajman Media City companies are routinely approved on the second attempt when the first choice was simply the wrong fit.

Which banks accept Ajman Media City companies

Most UAE banks open accounts for Ajman Media City companies, but each has its own appetite for activities, nationalities and expected turnover. GoldenKey shortlists two or three banks that fit your profile rather than applying everywhere at once.

Why the UAE

Since 2021, most mainland activities have allowed 100% foreign ownership, and free zones have always offered it, so opening a bank account for a company in Ajman Media City no longer requires a local partner. The UAE sits within an eight-hour flight of two-thirds of the world's population, which is why so many founders choose it as a base for opening a bank account for a company in Ajman Media City.
