The modern realities of banking have practically eliminated the concept of "banking secrecy". When subject to the Common Reporting Standard (CRS), the only way to avoid the risk of revealing personal data of both personal bank accounts and accounts of controlled companies, is to use the mechanisms provided for by UAE legislation. At SORP Group, we offer our clients effective solutions so they can do business confidentially and make settlements without any restrictions.
