IBC Bank account declined despite all recent regulations fulfilled

[mickey]

Hello, I heard recently, that an IBC (Dubai) was declined by a Dubai Bank despite its beneficial owner lives in Dubai.
Some days later I watched a YT-Video where this was mentioned between the lines:
"The Banking is not so great"

Why could be banking for an IBC "not so great" which kind of problems can occur?

Pleas remember, the following requirements are fulfilled:
+ Substance requirements due office in the same country as entity
+ Beneficial owner lives in the same country as entity
+ Bank in the same country as entity

Is this applicable to other IBC/LLC entities located in other jurisdictions?

You need to have a Residence Visa and an existing Relationship︀ with a Bank - the only usage someone can think of is using a RAK︁ ICC as a Holding company while you are already living in Dubai with Visa and︂ existing Bank Relationship - per definition the Offshore Company is High Risk and only a︃ few banks onboards it with the mentioned requirements and even then the limitations are pretty︄ high.

So IBCs are generally a little bit different treated by Banks. It there⁣ a specific reason?

As far as I know, IBC has to meet the same accounting⁢ requirements as other types of companies? Or am I wrong?

Ye they⁠ are treaded different due to there Offshore Status - RAK ICC is following the DIFC⁤ Regulation and DIFC follows the British Common Law.
