Baghdad, April 2025 — OPI Bank, one of the leading financial institutions in Iraq, has officially announced the opening of its new Digital Banking Hub in Baghdad, reinforcing its commitment to innovation and financial inclusion across the country.

The new hub, located in the heart of the capital, will focus on delivering fully digital banking services, including instant account opening, smart ATMs, personalized financial advisory through AI, and 24/7 customer support via mobile platforms. This marks a major milestone in OPI Bank’s long-term strategy to modernize banking services and extend their reach to underserved communities.

“Our new Digital Banking Hub represents a significant leap forward in our mission to make banking simpler, smarter, and more accessible for every Iraqi citizen,” said Mr. Saif Al-Mansouri, CEO of OPI Bank. “Through technology, we are removing barriers and opening new opportunities for individuals and businesses alike.”

The initiative is part of a broader national trend, as Iraq’s financial sector rapidly evolves with the support of fintech collaborations and regulatory reforms encouraging digital transformation.

In addition to the launch, OPI Bank has also introduced a new mobile banking app update, featuring:

• Instant fund transfers

• Bill payment integrations

• E-loan applications

• Biometric security enhancements

The bank plans to replicate this model in Basra, Erbil, and Najaf over the next year, aiming to establish five fully digital branches by the end of 2026.

Financial analysts have praised OPI Bank’s vision, noting that increased digital penetration will support Iraq’s broader economic diversification efforts and empower younger generations who are increasingly tech-savvy.
