In 2006, Byblos Bank became the first Lebanese bank to open a branch in Iraq as the country began to emerge from decades of conflict and hardship. Iraq had become a focal point for many Lebanese businesspeople as they took part in the rebuilding process, and it only made sense for us to follow, bringing with us the world-class products and services required to get the job done right.

Our presence in Iraq is managed as an extension of our domestic Lebanese market, meaning that our branches in Baghdad, Basra, Erbil, and Sulaymaniyah are actually branches of Byblos Bank S.A.L. This ensures that all Byblos Bank operations in Iraq receive the closest possible attention from Headquarters in Beirut – and demonstrates the high priority we attach to the Iraqi market. We want to make sure that our customers in Iraq receive the same levels of service they have come to expect on our home turf.
