History
Al Jazeera Sudanese Jordanian Bank was established in Sudan on 17 August 2006. Its legal formation took place under the Sudanese Companies Law of 1925, and it subsequently received a license from the Central Bank of Sudan to operate as a full-fledged bank. The institution's name indicates a Sudanese-Jordanian connection, but the available sources do not specify the identities of its founding shareholders, the precise nature of the Jordanian participation, or the composition of its initial board and management. From its establishment, the bank operated according to Islamic Sharia principles in its banking transactions. This places it within Sudan's Islamic banking environment and distinguishes its stated operating framework from conventional banking models. The available reference describes the bank as participating in Sudan's economic and social development, but does not identify particular financing schemes, community programs, corporate partnerships, or development-sector initiatives. Information about branches, service channels, customer segments, and product architecture is likewise not documented in the supplied material. A significant corporate milestone occurred on 5 February 2014, when the bank was listed on the Khartoum Stock Exchange. The listing established it as a publicly traded Sudanese company. No ticker symbol or financial figures are provided in the reference material, so the bank's market performance, capitalization, revenues, assets, and shareholder returns cannot be assessed from the available evidence. The bank has been characterized as one of Sudan's larger banks, but the source does not explain the basis for that description or provide a comparative ranking. The bank is headquartered in Khartoum, Sudan's capital and the country's principal financial center. Its activities are associated with the Sudanese market, and no reliable information is supplied regarding international branches, subsidiaries, representative offices, or operations outside Sudan. Similarly, the record does not identify a parent company, controlling owner, corporate group, or current chief executives. The institution's history was affected by Sudan's war beginning in 2023. Its building infrastructure reportedly caught fire during violent clashes, making the bank one of the financial institutions affected by the conflict. The available source does not establish whether the fire resulted from direct combat, the duration of any disruption, the extent of physical loss, or the status of banking services afterward. Because there is no sufficiently reliable post-incident operating information, the bank's current status remains unknown rather than being classified as active or defunct.
