Last step – get funds in your Warka Account.
Finally, you will need to fund your account in order to invest in Iraqi Dinar (Savings or ISX or both). Once you have your accounts open at Warka, you can fund them by wiring from your bank to:

Account Name: Warka Bank for Investment & finance
Bank Name: Citibank NA
Branch: New York
Swift Address: CITIUS33
Fed Wire: 021000089

(your IQD Savings number)
(It would obviously be advisable to email Warka to verify that the information has not changed.)
Word of advice: The minimum balances are $150US plus 300,000 IQD. At current rates (1170 Iraqi Dinar per $1 USD) you will need to send about $425, plus whatever you want to use to buy stocks with.
