Best For

Type
Pros
  • Bankak app supports transfers between own accounts, to other Bank of Khartoum accounts and to other Sudanese banks via the EBS Sudan interbank service
  • Cardless ATM withdrawal via one-time password, useful where a card cannot be issued or replaced
  • Bill payment to the main telecom and utility billers, and QR payment at participating merchants
Cons
  • Service availability varies by region and can be interrupted; branch networks across Sudan have been disrupted since April 2023 and a branch listed online may not be open
  • The app depends on mobile network and power availability, both of which are unreliable in much of the country
  • The Sudanese pound has depreciated severely, so balances held in SDG can lose purchasing power quickly
