These are the usual paperwork needed to establish a business bank account successfully. But some may differ from bank to bank:

• Trade License: You must show a copy of your trade license or commercial registration certificate from the relevant UAE authorities.
• Identification Documents: You will need to provide proof of residency in the UAE and shareholder resumes. You will also need to present identifying credentials for the business owner and shareholders, such as passports or Emirates IDs.
• Memorandum and Articles of Association: The MoA and AoA of the business must be provided in order to open a corporate bank account.
• Business Plan: Certain banks may require a business plan. This plan should outline a company’s operations, target market, and financial projections, especially for startups or new companies.
• Proof of Address: Proof of the business’s address, such as utility bills or a tenancy agreement, will be required.
• Board Resolution: You may need a board resolution to approve specific individuals to open and manage the account. This is necessary if you are opening an account on behalf of a business.
• Additional Documentation: Depending on the type of business you run, the bank may require financial statements, tax registration certificates, and any other relevant licenses or permissions.

You are advised to inquire about the complete documentation requirements of the bank with which you plan to open an account. The list of requirements may vary between banks.

Banks require business owners to physically verify their identity during account establishment. This verification is part of the account-establishing procedure.
