How to Verify Telebirr, CBE, BOA & eBirr Payments in Ethiopia — Complete Guide 2026

If you sell goods or services in Ethiopia, you’ve probably been paid through Telebirr, CBE Birr, Bank of Abyssinia (BOA), Dashen Bank, eBirr, or Awash Bank. And if you’ve been paid this way, you’ve probably wondered: “Is this receipt real?”

Fake and edited payment screenshots are a growing problem across Ethiopia. Scammers edit the amount, the date, or the reference number on a real receipt — or fabricate one entirely. Without a verification tool, it’s nearly impossible to tell the difference by eye.

What Is Ethiopian Payment Verification?

Payment verification means confirming that a bank transfer or mobile money payment actually reached your account before you release goods or services. In Ethiopia, this is critical because:

• CBE Birr and Telebirr are the most common payment methods — and the most targeted by scammers
• Bank of Abyssinia (BOA) receipts are frequently edited to show higher amounts
• eBirr and Coopay screenshots can be faked with simple photo editing apps
• Manual checking takes time and still misses sophisticated edits
