What is a Bank Power of Attorney?
A Banking POA is a legal document granting specific or general authority over financial matters to your agent (attorney-in-fact). It can be a Special POA for one transaction (e.g., signing a AED 5M loan agreement) or General POA for ongoing account management, always requiring notarization by a Dubai notary public for bank acceptance.
Key components:
- Account details (IBAN, branch)
- Exact powers (withdrawals, loans, LCs, guarantees)
- Agent identification and limits
- Bilingual Arabic/English format
- Notary seal verifying voluntary grant
- Validity period (limited/unlimited)
Banks scrutinize POAs for AML compliance—Dubai Notary Public ensures yours passes first time.

- Account management: Open/close current/savings accounts remotely
- Loan facilities: Sign term loans, overdrafts, mortgages
- Trade finance: Issue LCs, guarantees, invoice discounting
- Corporate treasury: Salary payments, vendor transfers
- Investment handling: Fixed deposits, mutual funds
- Expat continuity: Delegate while traveling or relocating
For NRIs, corporate expats, and HNIs with multi-bank setups, it’s indispensable.
