Banking

A well-structured and ever-growing network of local and international banks, strictly controlled by the UAE Central Bank, offers a full range of commercial and personal banking services. Transfers can be made without difficulty as there is no exchange control and the dirham is freely convertible. To open a bank account in the UAE (with a few exceptions), you usually have to be a resident. Normal banking hours are usually Saturday to Thursday, from 08:00 to 13:00 or 14:00 (some banks also keep later hours).
