Banking

Banking:
There are a number of banks available in Khartoum. 
 * Byblos Bank of Africa** is a Lebanon-owned one with base in Beirut. It is located in Amarat, Street 21 corner Street 27. They are quite efficient. You can open accounts in SDG, Euros, and USD, and receive transfers from Europe. Transfers from Europe take between 5 and 7 days. You can withdraw money in SDG. For withdrawing money in Euros or USD you will need to show a plane ticket indicating that you are leaving the country (procedure common to all banks).

Recent additions are **ATMs** shared with other banks all over town and they are actually working. Opening times are Saturday to Thursday from 9 am to 12 pm.


Some US-based systems like Paypal do not work anymore in Sudan since the US administration imposed further sanctions on Sudan last summer. Bank accounts in Europe should not have Sudanese address or indicate transfers to Sudan.
