Thanks for the helpful video. Question - if you had a HSBC account in the UK, why didn't you go for a HSBC UAE account in Dubai? I'm currently living in the UK, but will move to Dubai in about a month's time.

[@SiliciumCorp]

Would you mind take a shot at a video about Index funds please ?

[@ahmadi3718]

Which one is best kripto friendly

[@Saaumm]

what is a require document to open account in emirates bank, I will really appreciate your respond.

[@nonameanon9368]

3 Questions
1) Does Dubai go by sharia law when it comes to bank accounts?
2) if Dubai doesn't have the deposit insurance what it the "official term" the govt uses to not let a bank go insolvent?
3) Do banks in UAE pay interest?

[@aaliyansaeed6610]

hi, great video what would you reccomend for university students? or is this applicable for them too

[@moarzt]

dude if someone pauses and zooms in the right way they may see your emirates card number, see if you can blur it

[@antoniodellemonache9008]

1st like 😆

[@alexsorov1958]

Hi I am applying for a residency in Dubai I bought 3 apartments (1 finished, 2 off plan) I am waiting off plan properties build so that I can apply for golden visa. During this time can I open a bank account and get a credit card (so that I can start to build up my credit score) or can I get a credit card before I get the golden visa residency?

[@ShavicAmado]

Abu dhabi residence ill go to FAB thank you

[@clemlowes9417]

How was your experience during the flooding in Dubai? We were lucky enough to just miss it as we headed back home from our visit in late March.

[@tuomaskiv]

I just missed it too, I left for travels in Asia just before it

[@alirezamoharrami9526]

great

[@moarzt]

Can you make a video on how to invest in index funds or things like that from Dubai?

[@tuomaskiv]

Most people open a Interactive brokers account

[@im.m]

@@tuomaskiv what does that mean? an account within the bank they are with?

[@kingkohli4952]

Ibkr(interactive brokers) is a brokerage (online app to trade stocks) it's available in 34 countries​@@im.m

[@tiredcdz6181]

​@@im.m Interactive Brokers is an investment account. You can search for interactive brokers and open an account with them.

CAN i EDIT your CZcams videos?

[@moarzt]

Thanks for the video, I'm a Dubai local but I never thought about banks and just opened an account in the same bank as my parents (they actually opened it for me when I was a kid).. I will be looking at what suits me best now (Emirates one seems awesome since I like travel)

[@tuomaskiv]

Glad it was helpful!

The banks in the uk don’t guarantee, it’s a protection up to £85k

[@ms-hi7cp]

Do you need an emirates ID to open a business account? (Given that you first open your business and only after you can sponsor yourself for residency)

[@tuomaskiv]

I believe you needed it but I could be wrong. Business can be open without having a busines bank account yet

[@ms-hi7cp]

@@tuomaskiv Last question, promise.
Does your activity still apply as a qualifying income under the new tax law? mof.gov.ae/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Ministerial-Decision-No.-139-of-2023-Regarding-Qualifying-Activities-and-Excluded-Activities.pdf

ive been looking for info like this - CC in the uae, points etc

[@Coachiskandarzai]

If you can only choose 1 credit card. Which one will you choose?

How do credit scores work

[@tuomaskiv]

They don’t have a standardised credit score system, loans are given based on bank statements etc

You're too young to remember "Too Big to Fail."

[@arnoldvosloo220]

What did he say which indicates that to you?

[@mexicounexplained]

@@arnoldvosloo220 Well, for one, he was only 9 or 10 years old when all the banks in the US should have gone under but were bailed out by the government. He is making it seem like the banks in the UAE are "safer" than the US, but the US government has shown that it will bail out the banks if they make massive mistakes. Hence the phrase, "too big to fail." I was 40 years old and lived through it, not in elementary school. I remember it well while it was unfolding. I also have an MBA and have owned my own business for longer than Tuomas has been alive, so I know a thing or two about banking and finance.

[@arnoldvosloo220]

@@mexicounexplained He pointed out the smaller banks that have struggled recently in the US and said the reserve ratios for the US overall are a bit lower than UAE banks. He didn't say big banks in the US are going bust anytime soon. Not sure what point you're trying to make here with your life story. Plus why do you keep commenting on his age?

[@mexicounexplained]

@@arnoldvosloo220 You're not understanding what I'm saying.

[@mexicounexplained]

@@arnoldvosloo220 It makes no sense for me to clarify further.

[@cluxter-org]

Good video, thanks. No words about American Express? What do you think of it? I've heard several people around me saying that it is a must when you live there and travel often.

[@tuomaskiv]

As far as I know Amex here is okay but not as good as elsewhere, also many places don’t accept it AFAIK

[@cgroyg]

Not the best card here, most places dont accept it

[@cluxter-org]

@@cgroyg Good to know, thank you very much.
