8/5/26, 11:40 AM Qi Showcases Iraq’s Digital Finance Transformation at Money20/20 Europe 2026
These were more than business meetings; they reflected growing interest in Iraq’s advancing digital infrastructure and the
significant potential of its financial market in the years ahead.
The participation also highlighted Qi’s vision for deploying artificial intelligence — not only to improve the customer experience,
but also to strengthen compliance, sharpen fraud, detection capabilities, automate operations, and develop digital services
tailored to the needs of the Iraqi market.

Bahaa Abdul Hadi, Chairman of Qi, affirmed that this vision extends beyond technology, saying: “Our goal is to build a more
financially inclusive and digitally connected Iraq. Financial inclusion is not merely a banking service; it is a pillar of economic
development and improved quality of life. Through investment in innovation and global partnerships, we continue to build a
modern digital economy that serves all Iraqis.”
This vision reflects a broader shift underway in Iraq, where digital infrastructure has become a fundamental enabler of trade,
investment, government services, and cross, border transactions, opening new horizons for the national economy and
deepening its integration into the global economy.
Ali Hussein Munim, CEO of Qi, added: “Our journey was never about building a payments company; it was about building a
fully integrated digital ecosystem. In partnership with government institutions, financial partners, merchants, and technology
providers, we continue to develop more efficient, higher, impact services that support Iraq’s long, term economic development.”

Today, Qi’s focus extends well beyond digital payments, expanding into digital commerce, merchant enablement, financial
services, artificial intelligence, and digital infrastructure — built on the conviction that the future of the economy is not shaped by
standalone services, but by interconnected systems linking people to business, government, and markets.

As Money20/20 Europe 2026 drew to a close, Qi’s delegation carried home more than new meetings and partnerships, it carried
a message: Iraq is no longer watching digital transformation from a distance. It has become a partner in shaping its future.

At a moment when the world was debating the future of fintech, Iraq was telling a different story — the story of an economy in
transition, national companies building for the future, and a new generation that sees innovation as the path to development and
prosperity.
