Samson: Do we need a translation between the old paper transactions system for Iraqi banks and the new system based on electronic banking systems ?
15th June, 2020
I often had this question, there and amid the chaos of daily work, I always kept repeating this question with myself, do we need this translation
Everyone has become aware of the importance of electronic systems for banks, which are called banking systems (Core Banking System). Perhaps the Central Bank of Iraq is the first sponsor and supporter to direct banks towards the acquisition of banking systems of all kinds and urge banks to apply them and make them a condition of evaluation conditions for Iraqi banks because of their importance Significant in developing the banking sector in Iraq and moving to electronic systems instead of paper-based systems based on records, books and folders
But, through his vision, there is a large group that still prefers paperwork over electronic systems, and there has always been an argument that does not resolve between supporters of the paper system, records, and books, and between supporters of electronic banking systems, and I, among them, worked in the banking system department of one of the large and ancient Iraqi banks, and in my opinion, This controversy will remain present in all other Iraqi banks in particular
Here it was necessary to find a solution that satisfies both parties, so whatever we try to explain to the supporters of the paper transaction system and the electronic banking system and the way it works, we clashed with them with two important things
The first: the vast majority of them, especially the elderly of them, are not good at using a computer or computer
The second: their lack of acceptance of the electronic system and the new way of handling automatic operations within the banking system, and here we would like to note that we have all the respect and appreciation of these cadres as the basis from which we draw scientific and practical experience and that is translated into the electronic banking system
And now we have to translate between the old paper-based transactions system, which has become inconsistent with the volume of business and its development around the world and the new electronic system, for example that the registration document number translates to = the transaction number in the banking system or what is called (Transaction Number) and that the authorization of the accounting registration document is from During the signature of the person previously authorized on the document, it is now translated to = Transaction Approval in the Banking System (Transaction Approval)
And isolated treasurers in another corner away from other employees translate into = so-called PAL (Teller) is the same employee who executes the process on the banking system and receives and delivers money directly with the customer or customer
With this development in electronic banking systems, the method of control and auditing of paper transactions in the past has also become ineffective with the electronic banking system, where the audit process must be electronically and using the same system and its reports
Ultimately, with the Central Bank continuing to develop and support electronic banking systems and pushing private and government banks to develop their systems as well, I expect that in the next five years we will be able to conduct banking operations via mobile devices and from home without the need for routine reviews and long waits in circles and banks

Daily, which makes us in constant discussions with specialized agencies to reduce them."
The leftist asserted that "the committee seeks to establish important events that have contact with citizens as the day of the declaration of victory over ISIS, or the national day for Iraq on the third of October, and on July 14 to announce the republican system in Iraq as holidays, and to add religious holidays, which are the first and tenth of the month Muharram, the Prophet’s birthday, the days of Eid al-Fitr and the blessed Sacrifice, and add a proposal to announce a public holiday on December 25 to mark the anniversary of the birth of Christ.
