No international ATMs in Sudan. Local ATMs draw only on local banks; foreign cards blocked by OFAC sanctions and technical restrictions.

Visa/MC theoretically work for online purchases outside Sudan, but OFAC sanctions and financial restrictions create high failure rates and many sites block Sudan transactions.
