# How to Buy USDT in Iraq with Iraqi Dinars

> **Quick answer**
> In Iraq, the two strongest dinar P2P markets are **Binance and OKX**, and OKX alone has more than 200 ads in dinars. Pay the seller by **ZainCash**, **Qi Card (SuperQi)** or **FIB** from your own account, then tap "Transferred, notify seller". One catch: **Bitget isn't available to residents of Iraq**. For verification, Binance recommends your **national ID card** first.

## A USDT wallet in Iraq

In practice, your "USDT wallet" is your Binance or OKX account: it holds your USDT, and it's where you buy and sell for dinars. If someone is sending you USDT from another exchange, give them your **deposit address** from **[Deposit]** → **USDT** → choose the network, and make sure they send on **the same network**.
