Question 1

Can a non resident open a bank account in the UAE?

Accepted Answer

Some UAE banks accept eligible non residents for personal or corporate accounts, subject to their own criteria. We assess your profile and tell you honestly whether a UAE account is realistic before you spend time on an application.

Question 2

Do you guarantee that the account will be opened?

Accepted Answer

No. Approval is always the bank's decision. We make your application complete, accurate and easy to understand, which is what gives it the best chance.

Question 3

What if I was declined before?

Accepted Answer

We find out what the gap was, fix it before approaching another bank and disclose the previous refusal truthfully if the bank asks. We never misrepresent a client.

Question 4

Which bank is right for me?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your residency, nationality, sector, currencies and the size of the relationship. We recommend one primary bank and one alternative rather than applying everywhere.

Question 5

Does Vanguard hold or move my money?

Accepted Answer

No. Your funds stay with you and the institution you choose. Vanguard does not hold or move them.
