UNHCR and other humanitarian organization in Iraq are targeting more than 1 million displaced Iraqis and refugees that are in need of cash assistance. Currently over 120,000 vulnerable families in Iraq and approximately 30,000 non-Iraqi families in the country receive cash support via the UNHCR. Cash-out identification solution was required to increase the registration capacity for beneficiaries whilst making it more convenient, remove duplication effort, speed up the process which used to take 15 days, eliminate fraud and identity theft and making it easier for use by the elderly. This resulted in increasing the number of beneficiaries being served with higher standards of accountability and efficiency.

Our partnership with the UNHCR and Zain Cash has delivered a program utilizing our end-to-end EyePay® Cash platform across 70 Zain Cash agents’ fixed locations as well as in the field, serving over 32,500 beneficiaries on a monthly basis. In the last 16 months, we have processed over 168,000 transactions, amounting to 78M USD and growing. It increases beneficiaries’ privacy, significantly improves delivery of assistance they so desperately need which previously took 15 days, enables a secure cash out process and importantly, restores dignity.
