Opening a bank account in the UAE is a difficult task. If you have succeeded, you should not relax. The bank has the power to close it at any time if it deems you are in breach of the law or its internal requirements. Below we have described the most common reasons for the account to be closed by the bank.
01
When can a bank close an account?
If you do not maintain a minimum balance (between 20,000 and 30,000 USD, depending on the bank).
If you have opened an account and have not deposited money for some time (depends on the bank).
Transactions with sanctioned countries. At the moment Arab banks are processing payments to Russia, but very reluctantly. Therefore we recommend clients not to make transactions with Russia on a regular basis. It is preferable to use intermediary companies for transfers.
