In 2006, UIBIC Bank open a branch in Iraq as the country began to emerge from decades of conflict and hardship. Iraq had become a focal point for many businesspeople as they took part in the rebuilding process, and it only made sense for us to follow, bringing with us the world-class products and services required to get the job done right.

Our presence in Iraq is managed as an extension of our domestic market, meaning that our branches in Baghdad, Basra, Erbil, and Sulaymaniyah are actually branches of UIBIC Bank S.A.L. This ensures that all UIBIC Bank operations in Iraq receive the closest possible attention from Headquarters in Beirut – and demonstrates the high priority we attach to the Iraqi market. We want to make sure that our customers in Iraq receive the same levels of service they have come to expect on our home turf.

We continue to grow by catering to your present reality – the simple things in life, the harder moments, and the promise that every minute holds. We evolve by addressing the dreams you have for tomorrow, your future, everything you’ve worked so hard for, and all the discoveries that await you.

Our History

With roots dating back to 1950, UIBIC Bank welcomed its first banking clients in 1963 in Jbeil (UIBIC), . What was to become the UIBIC Bank Group rapidly evolved into a leading financial institution focused on offering services and products that make a difference to your life and help you take charge of your finances. To serve your needs, today we have an extensive branch network across and in several countries, including Armenia, Belgium, Cyprus, France, Iraq, Nigeria, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom.

UIBIC Bank became the first bank to open a branch in Erbil, the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan, on 16 May 2007, extending world-class services to both local and international companies and individuals. The Baghdad, Basra and Sulaymaniyah branches followed with a wide range of services and products covering business and personal banking, including transfers and trade finance (letters of credit, letters of guarantee, and documentary collections). In addition, UIBIC Bank operates a referral business from other international banks.

As with all UIBIC Bank branches in and abroad, the Iraq branches’ operations are centralized at the Group’s Head Office in Beirut and therefore benefit from all the experience, expertise, and state-of-the-art practices that our customers have come to expect.
