TBI was established by the

(TBI was licensed by the Central Bank of Iraq and commenced its operations one month after the decision to establish it as a government financial institution had been taken.)
Since then, TBI has grown into a leading bank in Iraq through strengthening its financial position, assets, and equity. TBI started with paid-up capital of USD 5 million (authorised capital: USD 100 million) in July 2003 and the paid-up capital increased to IQD 1.75 trillion (USD 1.5 billion) as at the close of 2015 by capitalisation of retained earnings. TBI recorded an annual profit of USD 454 million during 2016. The bank quickly developed into a highly credible and effective organization with an asset base of USD 19.7 billion as at the close of 2016.

During the startup period, the consortium offered TBI technical support and banking know-how and it has been issuing and confirming letters of credit and letters of guarantee on behalf of TBI. The consortium remained at the heart of TBI's correspondent network and had been a key element in the successful growth of TBI's trade business.
In a short period, TBI built relationships with an international network of 134 correspondent banks covering 63 cities spread over 39 countries. This gives TBI a true global reach, a competitive advantage and the ability to provide a diverse range of services to its clients. Adding to its success was the signing of agreements with 20

TBI's initial customer base consisted of ministries and government-run public sector corporations. During its first year of operation, TBI opened letters of credit only for the public sector clients. During 2005, the bank's customer base widened to include private sector companies and clients. TBI also started granting credit facilities and loans to the private sector in 2005.
