Iraqi Banking's Great Leap Forward

The first is the introduction of a “national switch” for processing credit card and ATM transactions. The switch—essentially a router and some specialized software—will connect all of Iraq’s ATM machines and credit card point-of-sale scanners to a common platform.
The second is the establishment of the Iraq Interoperable Mobile Payments System (IIMPS). This system will reach out to people who do not have a bank account by making it possible to bank by mobile phone.
