Certified True Copy of Bank Statement for Business Account KYC
Get a certified true copy of your company bank statement for corporate banking KYC, examined and certified in house by our own licensed UAE lawyers.
A certified true copy of a company bank statement is a copy of your business account statement that a licensed UAE legal professional has examined against the original and endorsed as a genuine, accurate copy, for submission to a bank or financial institution as part of KYC.
The certification confirms the copy matches the original statement shown. It does not review or validate the company’s financial position, that assessment is carried out separately by the bank as part of its own KYC process.
Certified Bank Statements for Corporate KYC
Corporate banks regularly request a certified true copy of bank statement for business KYC Dubai companies can submit as part of account opening or a periodic KYC refresh. This page explains how that certification is done for company bank statements.
Who Needs This Certification
Who Can Attend and What Is Required
Certification is generally done for the company’s authorized signatory or representative, attending with the relevant corporate authorization. Depending on the company structure, this may mean bringing a board resolution or power of attorney naming the individual authorized to handle the company’s documents, alongside their own passport or Emirates ID. Requirements can vary by company type and by the requesting bank, so confirm the specific authorization your bank expects before your appointment.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Typical Situations
A newly formed company opening its first corporate bank account is asked to submit a certified true copy of its bank statement along with its trade license.
An established business is contacted by its bank for a periodic KYC refresh and needs its recent account statements certified as part of the update.
A company applying for a business loan is asked by the lender to provide certified statements alongside its trade license and MOA.
How This Differs From Personal Bank Statement Certification
Certifying a personal bank statement usually involves just the account holder and their own identification. Certifying a company bank statement for KYC purposes typically involves an additional layer, confirming that the person presenting the document is properly authorized to act for the company, alongside the trade license and other corporate documents the bank has requested. Businesses needing wider corporate document certification, such as the trade license or MOA itself, can see our Corporate & Business Document Certification hub.
Our plain-language guide explains how these differ.
