Bank of Mesopotamia) is an Iraqi bank headquartered in Baghdad, with 146 branches inside Iraq as well as branches in London, Cairo, Beirut, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Amman and Jabal Amman.
"[2] The Bank was badly damaged by the first Gulf War and the economic sanctions against Iraq.
It is estimated that around a third of Rafidain's branches were destroyed during the second Gulf War and that the bank lost around $300m USD through looting.
In 2007, Bayan Jabor, the Iraqi Minister of Finance, signed a contract with British companies B-Plan Information Systems and Misys to rebuild the bank, in a turnkey contract to supply a core banking system, hardware, communications systems, and training to Rafidain Staff, across all branches inside and outside Iraq.
The project covered basic retail banking and trade finance.
