“Ekhtiyari boasts the same safety, convenience and state-of-the-art crime fighting technology as Qi Card,” said Bahaa Al-Hadi, chairman and founder of International Smart Card, the company that owns and operates Qi Card. “Iraqis can continue to safely receive and spend money while enjoying this new form of self-expression.”
Ekhtiyari functions exactly like the original Mastercard Qi Card:
- Consumers holding the new Ekhtiyari card may refill cards from any of the 17,000 point-of-sale kiosks available throughout the country, or at their nearest bank branch.
- Money transfers may be executed with Qi Card’s in-app money transfer service.
- Ekhtiyari card holders enjoy the same frictionless, secure purchasing power from thousands of vendors both online and in-store.
Customizing the new Ekhtiyari Card is easy and safe. Upon accessing their secure portal, consumers will be prompted to upload a preferred photo to their portal or select a stock photo from the Ekhtiyari photo gallery. Consumers will then follow the same process established for securing a Mastercard Qi Card. The new Ekhtiyari card costs 25,000 Iraqi dinars, which is due upon delivery.
“Built on the successful Qi Card program platform, the Ekhtiyari Card is designed for consumers to personalize their shopping and banking experience even further,” continued Bahaa Al-Hadi. “Like Qi Card, Ekhtiyari Card brings high standards of ethical financial practices into the Iraqi financial system and makes banking for Iraqi Citizens’ easier, safer and more secure.”
