EMI or Bank for UK LTD - UAE resident

[mdmo]

Hello,

Do you know any EMI or BANK who has a easy opening process for a Bangladeshi passport individual with UAE residency and company in UK?

Thanks.

Have you tried with Transferwise?

Yes, it's ok but an additional EMI / bank is needed (B plan).

 

[Marzio]

Other options could be Fire.com or Intergiro.com or Airwallex.com

 

[mdmo]

Which one is the one much more similar to wise.com in terms of onboardian/compliance/user-friendly interface?

Transferwise doesn't work with UAE Residence - so you can't use it at least with your real Residence Address in the UAE.

Paysera works with Emirates ID Verification only - no passport needed.

They offer SEPA/SWIFT for EUR as well as a Visa Debit Card in EUR.

Paysera refused me, Wise.com accepted me.

No idea why Paysera refused me tough.

Hey,

Have you tried Bankera?

I'm going to try soon, do any of those : Fire.com or Intergiro.com or Airwallex.com could work for me?

No - they don't work with UAE Residence at all.

You can only try to use them in the way you already do it with Wise by providing other address then your actual UAE Residence Address.

Chances are high that they ask you for a permanent Residence confirmation for the address you provide them outside the UAE.

Your nationality is considered high risk as well - so don't expect to much from retail EMI's that charge you nothing as they don't have a high risk appetite. Wise is already a unicorn in this point and most likely nothing else can be compared with it in terms of pricing/functions.

Yes, Intergiro could work. The case would have red flags due to your nationality, but this is doable.

No - they don't work with UAE Residence at all.

Intergiro doesn't mind UAE residences, they just don't work with companies outside EEA.

I opened a Wise account a few months ago with my UAE residence and it works great.

I've recently opened an account with juni.co. Fast onboarding process but can't speak much about it yet.

We also use fire.com which works well.

You can try Payoneer, should be fine for UAE residency or provide some fake address to wise.
