Providing accessible financial services
Reflecting the bank’s commitment to serving the community by working on providing accessible financial services, Bank of Khartoum has played a vital role in facilitating money transfers within and outside Sudan, especially during the conflict times.
Bankak, their dedicated e-banking app, is the sole e-banking option currently available throughout the country.

Overcoming the challenges
Having suffered from looting and losses since April 15 that have amounted to over $100 million during the war, Bank of Khartoum is still showing resilience. Despite having placed over 1,000 employees on unpaid leave earlier this year, the bank continues to be determined to rebuild, and continue serving their customers.
