Dormant/Frozen Account Reactivation
Dormant/Frozen Account Reactivation
Dormant or Frozen Business Account? Let's Get It Moving Again
Whether your account went dormant from inactivity or was frozen over a compliance flag, we help you understand what the bank needs and get it resolved.
Why Businesses Come to Us for This
A dormant or frozen business account can quietly stall operations — payments bounce, suppliers get nervous, and the reasons banks give are often vague ("compliance review," "documentation update required"). We help identify what's actually being asked for and manage the resolution directly with the bank.
What's Included
• Review of the dormancy/freeze notice and any bank communication
• Identification of the likely compliance or documentation trigger
• Preparation of whatever the bank requires to lift the restriction (updated KYC, source of funds, transaction explanations, etc.)
• Direct liaison with the bank through to reactivation
Timeline
Typically 10-15 business days once the required documentation is submitted, though compliance-related freezes can take longer depending on the bank's internal review process. [TODO: confirm if freeze-related cases typically run longer than the standard range]
Eligibility
Open to any UAE business with a dormant or frozen account — the path to resolution depends on the specific cause, reviewed case by case.
Who This Is For
