Lt. Gen. spokesman Haider Majeed told the official agency, “Two days ago, the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers issued circulars to official agencies, citizens, and employees who hold Qi, Master, and Visa cards (cards used in the electronic payment process), stressing the necessity and importance of being careful not to trade or use them.” Buy them from unknown and unreliable sites or stores, and also do not hand over these cards to unknown people or hand over their secret numbers in order to protect their money.”

He stressed, “The main relevant authorities in the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank, as well as banks, are working to urge citizens and institutions to automate the electronic payment process in coordination with officially approved electronic payment companies, so that it will be a new cultural phenomenon used for the first time in Iraq in years.”  R.D   LINK
