Help arranging a digital business or payment account for an eligible UAE company through a verified third-party provider.
Not every business needs all of its payment activity to run through a traditional branch-based bank. Digital business and payment accounts can be useful for companies that value online account management, international payments, cards and efficient day-to-day payment tools.
Coutts Consultants can help identify a verified third-party provider whose facilities suit the company and assist with the application. We make clear whether the proposed product is a bank account or another type of regulated payment account.
Digital accounts can suit consultancies, technology companies, e-commerce businesses and companies making regular international payments.
The best route depends on the currencies, countries, expected volumes and facilities required rather than simply choosing the most familiar brand.
Digital financial services can be provided by banks and by other regulated financial or payment institutions, depending on the jurisdiction and product.
We explain the nature of the proposed provider and the account before an introduction is made.
Online applications still require identity, ownership and business information. Providers can also ask about source of funds, countries involved and expected transactions.
We help prepare this information so that the application reflects the business accurately.
We discuss the facilities required, identify a suitable verified provider and help prepare and coordinate the application.
Coutts Consultants does not provide the account or hold client funds. The third-party provider makes the final acceptance decision.
Coutts Consultants helps UAE businesses compare and apply for suitable digital business or payment accounts through verified third-party providers.
Timing depends on the provider and due-diligence requirements.
