How much does it cost to open a bank account in Dubai?

Opening a bank account in Dubai can cost anywhere from AED 0 to AED 300, depending on the bank and type of account. Most banks require a minimum balance of AED 3,000 for regular savings accounts, while premium ones may have higher minimums. In my experience over the last three years, Emirates NBD and FAB offer easy services for expats. Important: Always check for monthly fees or hidden charges that may apply. It’s wise to compare several banks before deciding on the best option for you.
