Emirates Islamic Bank theoretically offers accounts for non-residents and offshore companies registered in the UAE, although these often require additional documentation and an in-person interview.

Assets: Approximately $17 billion
Fitch rating: BBB+

Founded in 1976, Sharjah Islamic Bank (SIB) became fully Sharia-compliant by 2004. Its primary shareholders include Sharjah Asset Management (28%), KFH Capital Investment Company K.S.C. (18%), and the Sharjah Social Insurance Fund (9.1%).

SIB does not open accounts for offshore companies. To open an account, individuals and legal entities are required to present an account statement from another bank for at least six months and documents disclosing the source of funds, all translated into English.

Overall, UAE banks offer reliable services and seamless international payments. However, accessing these services without residency status can be challenging, as banks adhere strictly to international sanctions and maintain high standards for client verification, particularly for non-residents.
