Illustration: Haq's magnifier checks each line of a customer's payment screenshot against the bank's own receipt, and the cashier's phone shows the result.
telebirr and CBE payment verification for shops Check the bank, not the screenshot.
Customers show you a telebirr, M-Pesa or bank transfer screenshot. Haq tells your cashier in seconds whether the money really reached your account, before anything leaves the counter.
Verifies payments from
A screenshot is a picture. Pictures are easy to edit.
A fake “payment successful” screen takes seconds to make, and last week's real receipt can be shown again. Haq never takes the screenshot's word for it. Every check is confirmed with the bank itself.

Verify a payment in three steps
Snap, scan or type
Take a photo of the customer's screen, scan the receipt's QR code, or type the reference number.
Haq asks the bank
Haq confirms the payment with the bank and runs the four checks. It usually takes a few seconds.
Hand it over, or don't
Green means the money is in your account. Red says exactly what's wrong, so your cashier knows what to ask the customer.

Fits the way your shop already runs
Shops and supermarkets
Verify at the till and see what each cashier took in.
Barbers and salons
Tag each payment with the barber or stylist who did the work. Commissions and tips add up for payday.
Restaurants and cafés
Link payments to tables and waiters, and see each waiter's tips at the end of the shift.
Security, from the counter to the bank
Haq stands between your shop and a fake payment, so it's built to be hard to fool and hard to break into.
Every connection is encrypted
The app only talks to Haq over HTTPS, and Haq only talks to banks over verified, encrypted connections.
The screenshot stays on the phone
It's read on the cashier's phone, and the picture itself never reaches Haq's servers.
Only the bank's receipt counts
A payment is marked verified only when the bank's own receipt confirms it. If the bank doesn't answer, your cashier is told to try again.
Each receipt works once
The database itself refuses a second claim on the same receipt, at any shop, even if two cashiers try in the same second.
Staff see only what they need
Cashiers verify and see their own history. Only owners change payout accounts, add staff or see every total. Each shop's data is kept apart from every other shop's.
Sign-ins are protected
Passwords are stored as one-way hashes, repeated wrong guesses are slowed down, and removing a staff member signs them out everywhere at once.

Questions shop owners ask
What is Haq?
Haq is a payment verification app for Ethiopian shops. Your cashier scans or photographs the customer's telebirr, M-Pesa or bank transfer screenshot, and Haq confirms with the bank that it went to your account, it's the right amount, it was paid just now, and it hasn't been used before.
Which banks and wallets does it work with?
Commercial Bank of Ethiopia, CBE Birr, telebirr, M-Pesa, Bank of Abyssinia, Awash Bank, Dashen Bank, Siinqee Bank, Coopay-ebirr and Kaafi e-birr. Your customers pay the way they already do.
Does the customer need to install anything?
No. They pay from their own bank or wallet app, like telebirr or M-Pesa, and show your cashier the confirmation, like they do today.
Does it work without internet?
No. Haq checks with the bank live, so the cashier's phone needs mobile data or Wi-Fi.
What if the bank's system is down?
Your cashier sees “try again”, never “verified”. A payment is only marked verified once the bank confirms it.
Can someone use the same receipt at two shops?
No. Once a receipt is verified anywhere on Haq, showing it again is flagged as already used.
Which languages does the app speak?
Amharic, Afaan Oromo and English. Each cashier can pick their own.
How much does it cost?
There's a free plan with 50 verifications a month. Paid plans start at 299 ETB a month, and paying for a year saves about two months. See the plans above.
