The usual documentation required by banks are corporate documents, passport copy, utility bill and three months personal bank statement of the authorised signatory. Some banks insist on companies having a tenancy contract and might also require the signatory to be a UAE resident. Dealing with high risk countries is strictly not acceptable.
