RAK ICC (UAE) Company + CIM Banque Account
Choosing the right jurisdiction is the single most consequential decision in any offshore project — it determines your tax exposure, banking options, privacy and long-term compliance burden for years to come.
This package pairs a RAK International Corporate Centre company (0% uae corporate tax on qualifying offshore activity, formation in 2–4 business days) with a corporate account at CIM Banque in Geneva, Switzerland — swiss banking with genuine remote account opening for offshore entities. CIM Banque is one of very few Swiss banks that onboards offshore companies fully remotely.
Why This Pairing Works
RAK ICC (UAE) delivers the structure: uae property holding, regional headquarters, trading, no minimum capital, and shareholder registry is confidential. CIM Banque delivers the rails: CHF, USD, EUR + 20 currencies with chf/usd 10,000 typical. The compliance narrative connecting the two — activity, corridors, source of funds — is what GoldenKey engineers before either application is filed.

One Engagement. Company + Bank.
