Is it harder for a RAK ICC company to get a UAE bank account?

Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)

Sometimes, but it is harder than for a DMCC or mainland company, because there is no office, trade licence or UAE-resident manager. Banks that accept RAK ICC companies usually want a clear holding purpose, such as UAE property or shares in an operating company, and full source-of-wealth evidence. We also look at options outside the UAE; the bank decides.
