The platform added that the number of those registered in the “My Account” project has so far reached 720,000 employees out of a total of about one million employees receiving their salaries from the Kurdistan Regional Government, and 370,000 bank cards have been distributed to those benefiting from the service.
In this context, the Ministry of Finance and Economy in the Kurdistan Region announced the disbursement of January salaries, which were deposited into the bank accounts of beneficiaries of the “My Account” project.
The statement added that technical staff are waiting for employees to help them withdraw their money.
This measure comes as part of the Kurdistan Regional Government’s plan to enhance digital transformation in salary disbursement operations, which contributes to reducing reliance on cash, increasing transparency, and facilitating withdrawal operations for beneficiaries, in light of a broader trend towards shifting to digital banking services.
The Kurdistan Regional Government launched the “Hisabi” project as part of its plan to develop the banking infrastructure in the region, with the aim of improving salary management and facilitating financial transactions for employees. The project aims to reduce congestion at traditional salary distribution centers and enhance the use of electronic banking services, as part of a broader trend towards digitizing government operations in the region.
