What you'll need
We'll need to see proof of your identity, residency in the UAE and income before we can finalise your application. We'll contact you to arrange a face-to-face appointment at a time that's convenient to you.
If you’re applying for a joint account, all the potential account holders will need to come into a branch with their documents.
We'll need to see the following:
- Original passport (for non-residents) or passport copy (for UAE residents).
- Valid residence visa (for non-GCC nationals only).
- Original Emirates identification card (for UAE residents).
- Proof of residence – either a utility bill or rental agreement/tenancy contract stating your physical residential address in UAE (for UAE residents) or bank statements/other documents stating your physical residential address (for non-residents).
- Original labour card or work ID (if you're female and sponsored by your father or husband and a UAE resident).
- Original trade licence (if you're self-employed).
- Original income transfer letter from your employer (if you’d like to transfer your salary to the account).
Please note, that we may request further information or documentation from you, in order to comply with the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and Common Reporting Standards (CRS).
