Over 800,000 beneficiaries register for MyAccount

This marks a major step toward the KRG’s target of banking over one million people through licensed and regulated banks.

The MyAccount programme is being implemented in full coordination with the Central Bank of Iraq, with seven partner banks now onboard. This month, more than 400,000 beneficiaries will receive their salaries electronically through a growing network of over 400 ATMs across the Kurdistan Region, including thousands of pensioners in a pilot phase.

Prime Minister Masrour Barzani announced the MyAccount programme in February 2023 as part of the 9th cabinet's strategy to modernize banking services and reduce dependence on cash.
