The Central Bank of Iraq has warned that some people are misusing the electronic payment cards it makes available to meet the legitimate natural needs of citizens.
The bank stressed its commitment to implementing strict measures to limit this phenomenon, protect the financial system, and ward off risks from it, indicating that it will include the names of bank card holders whose misuse or smuggling is caught on black lists and take legal measures against this group.
The bank noted that they will be deprived of issuing other cards and all financial products, and that all necessary measures will be taken against violators, based on the Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Law No. 39 of 2015 and the instructions and controls issued pursuant thereto.
