Yes — bank account opening is included in Arnifi's company setup packages at no extra cost. You don't need to pay separately for the banking service; it's bundled as part of your incorporation journey, making the entire process seamless from company formation to having a live, operational bank account.

Arnifi works with a curated network of verified banking partners across multiple jurisdictions, including digital banks and traditional institutions that serve businesses in the UAE and beyond. Our panel includes partners well-suited for startups, freelancers, e-commerce operators, and established corporations — so there's a right fit for every business type.

Timelines vary by bank and business type, but Arnifi's team tracks your application status in real time and keeps you informed at every stage. Our dedicated banking support and document compliance checks are designed to minimise back-and-forth with the bank, helping you get account approval faster than going through the process alone.

Typical requirements include your trade licence, certificate of incorporation, passport copies of shareholders and directors, proof of address, and a business plan or company profile. Arnifi conducts a document compliance review upfront to ensure everything is in order before submission, reducing the risk of rejection or unnecessary delays.
