Excerpt from the resource
What the bank actually cares about
UAE banks assess three things in parallel: the substance of your business (customers, invoices, cash flow), the credibility of your shareholders (source of wealth, PEP checks, sanctioned jurisdictions), and the fit with their internal risk appetite (sector, expected turnover, cash intensity).
