A personal bank account is opened in an individual's own name, using their Emirates ID and residence visa, for personal salary, spending, and savings. A corporate account is opened in a registered business's name, requiring trade licence documentation, shareholder and signatory details, and often a more involved due diligence process, and is intended for business income, expenses, and transactions rather than personal use, with the two account types kept legally and functionally separate even when the same individual owns and operates the business.
