As the demand for e-payment services worldwide increases, it has become necessary to provide the financial, banking, government, and other business sectors with the latest and most advanced technical solutions in order to help them manage and conduct their financial transactions – in compliance with safety, security and reliability standards. It is also equally important to present citizens with the best and simplest ways to execute easy and secure online payments and purchases – anytime, anywhere.

For this purpose, in 2016, we launched Iraq Electronic Gate for Financial Services Company (SWITCH) to conduct, offer, and facilitate e-payment services across the country. SWITCH is registered as a national company in Iraq and licensed by the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) as an Electronic Payment Service Provider under License No. 4, according to the provisions of Law No. 56 of 2004. SWITCH is also licensed by Mastercard International and Visa International as a Principal Member and by MoneyGram as a main dealer of international remittances. The scope of services extended by SWITCH includes:
