Hi
Im pearlll
Im new here, first reply
Though read a few posts
Ive just read the post conserning the New bank account details for the Iraqi Dinar account in iraq
Im from Australia
Having no account in Iraq
And a little confused with what the best methiod of aquiring the Dinar or better off having it in a bank in Iraq / online banking
Or having it in real form as in notes in hand ?
I see the methiod you have posted to creating an account
And was wondering if there is any glitches with submitting all those details, to finally, doing the online money transaction / transfer of funds, and have a solid - positive outcome of it all going through, to were i can view my account online like i do with my online bank in Australia ?
Also, Having my funds in an Australian bank and in AUD and doing the transfer into the Warka Bank to my new Iraqi account. Will the transfer, simply be converted into Iraqi Dinar at a USD rate at that time ?
Another - The Warka bank being expaned round the world as im sure i read, If im wrong please let me know, as mentioned, having the Warka branches in different locations eg France and elsewhere, wouldnt it be best to have funds in Iraqi Dinar but located in a different country ?
Sorry for the extra questions, But am new to the Dinar and the idea of aquiring them with the safest methiod possible
Interest CD is those sorts of things available ?
Thank you

____________________________Important_____________ ________________
Whenever eMailing Warka Investment Bank for whatever important issue, do it around their business hours and preferably in the morning 8-11am Sun-Thurs Iraqi time. Never send them more than one email per day, just be patient for a response. Sometimes Warka Investment Bank may be very busy and what should normally take a few days, can take a week or more. If you also factor in any holidays in Iraq (and Germany if wiring funds) those can also delay the response process. Please don't drown them with eMails because this in the end will affect everyone's response time. Remember for common questions/tips you can always simply ask them here at the forum instead of eMailing Warka with non crucial questions. You can check the current Baghdad time before eMailing them:
