The aim of this research is to demonstrate the importance of financial inclusion as a modern concept in banking work based on three basic axes in providing banking services and its role in achieving and supporting sustainable development operations through the ability of Iraqi banks to deliver banking services and provide them with high quality to different societal groups, and therefore this matter It stimulates Iraqi banks to provide the best banking services, as the growing banking awareness for society groups achieves the idea of financial inclusion, which in turn supports development processes in the country through financing and supporting small projects that develop the economic side, and the importance of research lies in N financial inclusion achieves a state of competition between the various financial institutions, making them innovate and provide the best banking services and high quality, which achieves the country’s economic benefits and thus achieving sustainable development.
