Some people have opted to open a Warka account in order to obtain the Central Bank of Iraq exchange rate. Warka cannot send you dinars so your money must stay in the account until you decide to exchange your dinars back to your currency of choice at the exchange rate of that day and have it wired back to you.
Some have opted to use Warka for their brokerage services to purchase stocks on the Iraq Stock Exchange (ISX).
As with all foreign bank accounts, your funds are subject to the laws of country of that bank. Banks outside of the US are not insured by the FDIC. This implies inherent risks.
