UAE International & Multi-Currency Bank Account

The UAE is an international trading centre, so many companies need more than a simple dirham account. Businesses importing goods, exporting services or dealing with customers across several countries can benefit from being able to receive and make payments in the currencies they use most often.

Coutts Consultants can help identify a suitable third-party provider and prepare the application. We look at the countries, currencies, customers and suppliers involved so that the account is suited to the company's real payment needs.

Useful for international business

This service can suit trading companies, consultancies, regional headquarters, e-commerce businesses and other UAE companies receiving or making regular overseas payments.

Available currencies and facilities vary by provider, so we confirm what is actually offered before making an introduction.

Choosing the right type of provider

The most suitable route may be a conventional bank or, for some payment requirements, a regulated specialist payment provider.

We explain what type of account is being proposed and do not describe every international payment product as conventional banking.

Preparing the transaction profile

Providers will usually want to know which countries the company deals with, expected payment values, currencies and the nature of its customers and suppliers.

We help organise this information with the company, ownership and source-of-funds documents so that the expected account activity is easy to understand.

How Coutts Consultants can help

We review the international banking requirement, identify a suitable provider route and help prepare the application before making an introduction.

The third-party provider decides acceptance and sets its own currencies, fees, exchange rates, limits and account conditions.
