How To Get A Warka Investment Bank CD (Certificate of Deposit)

Last updated: 10/27/2009

The CD interest will only be deposited into your account if you do not make any financial transactions with your CD funds. If any financial transactions are made with your CD funds before your CD matures, your CD interest will be void. Interest is paid out at the time that your chosen CD interest paid option plan ends.

[NOTE: For the latest rates please go to the following link and scroll to the bottom of the webpage Warka-Bank.com.]

The current Warka Investment Bank CD interest paid option plans are as follows:

CD's must be held for a full year if you want to attain the full yearly percent rate listed below, otherwise to get your percent rate you must divide a year by the completed CD month term and use that resulting number to then divide the yearly percent rate.

IQD CD Rates:

-> A 3 month 8.5% yearly percent rate IQD CD.

--> A 6 month 9.5% yearly percent rate IQD CD.

---> A 12 month 10.5% yearly percent rate IQD CD.

USD CD Rates:

--> A 6 month 4% yearly percent rate USD CD.

---> A 12 month 5% yearly percent rate USD CD.

____________________________Important_____________ ________________
Whenever eMailing Warka Investment Bank for whatever important issue, do it around their business hours and preferably in the morning 8-11am Sun-Thurs Iraqi time. Never send them more than one email per day, just be patient for a response. Sometimes Warka Investment Bank may be very busy and what should normally take a few days, can take a week or more. If you also factor in any holidays in Iraq (and Germany if wiring funds) those can also delay the response process. Please don't drown them with eMails because this in the end will affect everyone's response time. Remember for common questions/tips you can always simply ask them here at the forum instead of eMailing Warka with non crucial questions. You can check the current Baghdad time before eMailing them:

Thanks!!

P.S. Links would be great.

In my opinion, and it is only worth 24.3 Dinar, is that you cant go wrong with earning 13%-15% percent interest while you wait. Remember though that you cant touch the money until the end of the CD period. If you put your money in a 2 year you will earn 15%, but you cant touch it for 24 months. If you do, you lose ALL the interest. If you think you will need access to some money, put some in 3 month CD's they will earn 3.25% every 3 months.

CD's are quoted Yearly Percentage Rate (YPR) so it would be 13% if you kept putting it in for a year. It is actually 13%/4 = 3.25% If you have 1,000,000 IQD you would recieve 32,500 Dinar every quarter.

Here is a calculator you can use:

Thank you James,

I thought that is what this said:
http://www.warka-bank.com/?pid=pages&pageid=52&lan=en

But it is corrupt. I sent an email to Mr. I to report it.

And for all reading..It is NOT a translation page, it is an english version of the page, so it is corrupt.

If this thing R.V.s, do you really care about the interest? Are youy gonna wait 3 months or more to touch your millions. No, you are gonna pull it out and forfeit the %.

At 15% Interest I double my money every 4.8 years. If I had 1 Million, I would have 2 in 4.8 years. I would wait until the end of the period. But that is me.

Can I make a CD with 300,000 IQD and 150 USD that have to be on every account as a minimum balance? Because I don't see any point just having this money on my account not put into a CD...

[noodlesdad]

Does anyone know if the Interest on Warka savings account
is still at 11% annually ? Thanks.

ND

[I AM]

The Current interest is 9% for savings.

The CD does count as your minimum balance. This came from Mr I.
So, If you have a CD, you can run your savings acct to whatever level you want.
(I just keep enough to cover fees (online etc)

Thanks for the info I AM,

So, with a 3 month CD... Would you earn the 9% + 10% for the duration of a 3 month CD.

My point is that if you sacrifice the 9% just to gain 1% more is it worth the trouble? If there is more to the equation that I might be missing here please, some help out here. Thanks as always.

If I understand you question, If you had a 3 Month CD and did not renew it, you would get 10% APY for 3 months and 9% APY for the remaining 9 Months. If you had 1 Million IQD as above you would receive 92499.99 IQD at the end of 12 Months. (1,000,000*10%)/12 *3 =>CD PLUS (1,000,000*9%)/12 *9.

To Answer you second question, If I had 10,000,000 the difference between 9% and 10% would be 25,000 IQD every 3 Months.


I personally invest in the longest CDs available. Currently 1 year, but last year you could invest in a 17% CD for 24 Months. This is no longer available.

As Stated in a post earlier this year, If I invest in a 12%CD and keep rolling the money over, I will double my investment every 6 years.

Hope this helps!!

Quick question...when you open a Warka account, is the IQD account a "savings" account by default? Just wondering if I'm already getting the 9% or whatever the current interest is.

Also, If I want to open multiple CDs at the same time, do I need to send in a different request form for each one, or can I put several on one CD request form? Thanks.

The 1 Year rate has dropped to 10.5%. Looks like the rates continue to drop.
