Business setup consultancy Creative Zone today announced that it has added the region’s first platform bank Wio to its vast partner network. This collaboration is set to transform the way business banking is done by digitalising and eliminating common pain points experienced by SMEs and Entrepreneurs.
Wio is a platform bank that provides advanced banking solutions built around three main capabilities: Digital Banking apps, Embedded Finance and Banking-as-Service (BAAS) solutions.
Its first digital banking application, Wio Business, provides simplified and fully digital business account opening, personalised options and seamlessly integrated services that are built around each client's needs, helping them automate their admin, be in control of their spend with unlimited virtual cards for their team, create various Saving Spaces for VAT, rent, etc., and focus on growing their business.
“Opening a bank account is one of the trickiest things new business owners and SMEs face; with our partnership with Wio, we seek to simplify and optimise our banking services and provide our customers with a fully digital banking experience that is fast and seamless," says Lorenzo Jooris, CEO, Creative Zone. "With Wio Business’ features, we will be able to provide our clients with an innovative, engaging, customer-centric experience underpinned by security, transparency and convenience," add Jooris.
Regulated by the Central Bank of the UAE, Wio is jointly owned by Abu Dhabi Holding Company (ADQ), Alpha Dhabi, Etisalat, and First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB). In its beta version, the bank has focused on enhancing its support for SMEs and freelancers. It allows you to open your business account fast, automate admin, manage payments seamlessly, and budget for VAT, to name a few. The bank has advanced its online services to suit a tech-loving generation and give business owners their time back.
"As part of our effort to accelerate the growth of the UAE's digital economy, we are delighted to partner with one of the leading corporate solutions providers of the region, Creative Zone. With their support, we look forward to deploying our full innovative banking services and expanding them to key sectors of the UAE economy," says Prateek Vahie, Chief Commercial Officer of Wio Bank.

Creative Zone's concierge department has bank experts who prepare all documents and liaise with banks on companies' behalf so that the process will take only a couple of weeks instead of months.
