When an SRTIP company file is refused
SRTIP does not publish an acceptance rate, a rejection rate, or a list of banned nationalities. The zone decides the licence. The bank decides the account. The two lists below are from the FATF statements of 19 June 2026, the latest public statements we checked. The next plenary can change the names.
There is no published percentage
A search for an acceptance rate or a rejection rate does not land on a figure from SRTIP or from the banks. A file stops for a reason that is reviewed on that file: a missing document, an activity the zone does not license, a name that matches a sanctions list, or a bank that declines the account file. This page does not guess a percentage.
Call for action, 19 June 2026
Three names. The FATF asks for enhanced due diligence and, in the most serious cases, countermeasures. This is not an SRTIP text that bans the nationality. The practical effect usually shows up at the bank.

What stops a file
The SRTIP registration checklist says the zone may ask for more documents, and for attestation by a UAE embassy or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A passport from a list below does not, by itself, mean the licence is refused. If a person or company matches a UAE or UN sanctions list, the file stops. Preparing the bank file is inside the package. The bank makes the decision on the account.

The bank file is on the bank-account page. Documents are on the documents page.
