In detail
Money is sent to Sudan in dollars to the recipient's account at a Sudanese bank or through a money transfer company, and exchanged into pounds at the bank's rate. In 2026 Sudan's commercial banks bought the dollar at an average of 3,748.21 pounds, 37% more than at the end of January. The recipient needs the account number, the bank's name and their name.
| Method | On 9 October 2026 | Time | What you need |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dollar transfer to an account at a bank in Sudan | works for family support, study, medical care | 3-7 business days | the account number, the bank, the name |
| Exchange into pounds | at the bank's rate on the day of exchange | on the day of exchange | currency in the account |
| Money transfer company | works | from minutes to a day | the recipient's name and ID document |
| Paying for study or medical care directly | to the university's or clinic's account | under the contract | an invoice or a contract |
Table data for 2026. The average dollar buying rate at commercial banks in the Central Bank of Sudan review for August 2026 is 3,748.21 pounds, and dollars are rounded up.
The pound rate at Sudanese banks: more pounds per dollar every month
The Central Bank of Sudan publishes once a month the average rate at which commercial banks buy and sell the dollar. In 2026 the rate rises almost every month:
| Date | Bank buys the dollar | Bank sells the dollar |
|---|---|---|
| 31 January 2026 | 2,740.04 | 2,766.47 |
| 28 February 2026 | 2,892.68 | 2,918.43 |
| 30 June 2026 | 3,361.75 | 3,400.75 |
| 31 July 2026 | 3,551.87 | 3,581.01 |
| 31 August 2026 | 3,748.21 | 3,789.50 |
Pounds per dollar, monthly reviews of the Central Bank of Sudan. Anyone receiving dollars from abroad gains: at the end of January a bank exchanged $1,000 for 2,740,040 pounds, and at the end of August for 3,748,210. So dollars in an account are better exchanged as they are spent, not on the day of crediting.
How the capital works is described in the Khartoum guide.
Does your bank not send payments to Sudan, or is a transfer stuck on a check? There are usually more options than it seems: a manager will choose a working legal route for your country and sum.
Prices in Sudan are rising more slowly: 26.1% instead of 68.2%
The second piece of good news for the recipient is slowing price growth. According to the Central Bank of Sudan, annual inflation more than halved during 2026:
| End of month | Annual inflation |
|---|---|
| December 2025 | 68.2% |
| March 2026 | 40.2% |
| July 2026 | 41.6% |
| August 2026 | 26.1% |
From January to August the dollar rate at banks rose by 37%, while prices in the year to August rose by 26.1%. So a dollar transfer today buys a family in Sudan more food, medicine and rent than the same transfer at the start of the year.
We will help you send money to Sudan
Mistakes cost more than fees: dollars exchanged into pounds on the day of crediting and losing out as the rate rises, a payment purpose without family support or medical care stated, a transfer sent through a chain of banks and stuck on a check, a bank without papers on the origin of the money. We will help you avoid them: we choose a legal transfer route from your country, check the transfer for your case, prepare documents on the origin of the money and carry out the transfer through licensed partners through to crediting.
Details and terms are with a manager in the chat: the calculation depends on the sum, the purpose of the transfer and the sending country.
A transfer to Sudan from $10,000: what the bank will ask
The larger the sum, the more closely the recipient's and the sender's banks check it. In 2026:
| Sum | The bank's question | What to show |
|---|---|---|
| Up to $10,000 | who receives it and why | the recipient's name, the purpose: family support, study, medical care |
| $10,000-100,000 | where the money comes from | six months of account statements, an income certificate |
| From $100,000 | the whole path of the money | a home or business sale contract, a tax return, statements |
More on the papers is in the articles on proof of source of funds, sending a large sum abroad and moving home sale proceeds abroad.
Paying for a relative's medical care or study with $10,000 or more? A specialist will check the transfer for your case, collect documents on the origin of the money and carry out the payment through licensed partners through to crediting; how to move your savings as a whole is on the capital relocation page.
