Economy News _ Baghdad
The “Hesbi” platform announced on Thursday the start of the payment of January salaries to Kurdistan regional employees through the digital system.
The team responsible for the “Hesabi” platform confirmed in a statement seen by “Economy News” that January salaries will be distributed digitally today, in all governorates of the Kurdistan Region, where salaries will be transferred to the bank accounts of beneficiaries as of 8:00 am.
The statement explained that the number of beneficiaries of the disbursement process through “Hasbi” reached 275,000 employees, including 216,500 civil servants and 56,700 from the Peshmerga forces, and they will be able to withdraw their salaries through more than 550 ATMs distributed in more than 200 different locations throughout the region.
The platform added that the number of registrants in the “Hasabi” project so far has reached 720,000 employees out of a total of about one million employees receiving their salaries from the Kurdistan Regional Government, and 370,000 bank cards have been distributed to the beneficiaries of the service.
In this context, the Ministry of Finance and Economy in the Kurdistan Region announced the disbursement of January salaries, which were deposited in the bank accounts of the beneficiaries of the “Hesab” project.
The statement added that technical cadres are waiting for employees to help them withdraw their funds.
This measure comes within the KRG’s plan to promote digital transformation in payroll operations, which contributes to reducing dependence on cash, increasing transparency, and facilitating withdrawals for beneficiaries, in light of a broader trend towards switching to digital banking services.
The Kurdistan Regional Government launched the “Hasabi” project as part of its plan to develop the banking infrastructure in the region, with the aim of improving salary management and facilitating financial transactions for employees. The project aims to reduce the crowds of traditional payroll distribution centers and enhance the use of electronic banking services, as part of a broader trend towards digitizing government operations in the region.
