Seniortour Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Per Warka's customer letter on their Web-site, has anyone got a response? Per their request I sent the information requested about a week ago. Have heard no response back. Normal for Warka. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unirod Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 I sent Warka Brokerage a request for stock transfer on February 2nd and have yet to even receive a reply. I do have my original certified copy's of all documentation needed from Warka back in 2011. I will re-send these documents by E-mail as there can be no expiration date on a certified document. But I'm apprehensive about sending my originals to the named address. Any comments or advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unirod Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 I finished sending my 2nd request to transfer stocks. In addition all the original correspondence with emails from 2011 establishing my ISX trading account in the first place with Warka. I'll let you all know if Warka Brokerage responds.

I can tell you that Al Karmal handled retrieving my stocks from Warka and they requested the same thing-certified documents and I (just like you) had my documents from 2011- I emailed them a copy and everything went smooth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your ISX stocks are still tied up with Warka Bank "in your good name" you are wasting your time trying to get them transferred over. If your looking to just open an account an start buying on the ISX it appears you can't go wrong with this broker. I tried to open an account an transferring my stocks from Warka a couple of years ago with no luck. Warka has to transfer your stocks into the ISX system, which it appears that's what their in the process of trying to do now. The gentleman I was in contact with back then with Karmal said there was no record of my stocks with the ISX, thus the need to make the transfer....

coorslite21 Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Up until now I have had pretty good luck and communication with Warka........ I sent them 3 requests, with the 3rd one copied to ISSA........no response......I sent them all during regular Warka banking hours... I did request an accounting for any dividends and bonus shares, which may have created an issue.......over the course of time that the Warka ISX dept was dark....they either didn't keep up with it, or as corrupt as all of Iraq seems to be ......someone there intended to keep those for themselves.... These stock offerings had depreciated greatly.........so no problem......as long as I see the appropriate amount of IQD added to the account......I doubt I will even get a notice that it has happened...... With all the poor citizens of Iraq have gone through, I would love to invest to help make their world a better place.......but with all of the corruption....not a chance...... Probably a reason the Kuwaiti conference only raised 1/3 of what they were looking for........ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a reason the Kuwaiti conference only raised 1/3 of what they were looking for........ Back over the summer I emailed Mr. Issa and inquired about shares and dividends. After no response to the questions I felt like it was time for a change. If you consider the number of ISX holders through Warka that have remained in proxy and really like me who had stocks in our good name where have these dividends been going? At least Karmal emailed me back today and said my cash dividends were going to my account ( which I can see online). Bank of Baghdad (BBOB) decided to distribute 7% cash dividend (IQD0.07 dividend per share.) National for Tourist Investment (HNTI) decided to distribute 11% cash dividend United Bank (BUND) will distribute 2% cash dividend (IQD0.02 dividend per share To date I have not received any cash dividends for a stock company. Can you help explain? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
