Verify Awash Bank transfers before the goods leave

Customers pay from Awash Bank mobile banking and show you the receipt. Haq checks each transfer with Awash Bank itself and tells your cashier in seconds whether the money is really in your account.

What Haq checks on every Awash Bank transfer

  • It went to your account: the receiver on Awash Bank's receipt is one your shop registered.
  • It's the right amount: never less than what your cashier entered.
  • It was paid just now: an old receipt shown again doesn't pass.
  • Nobody has used it before: each reference counts once, at any shop on Haq.

Where to find the Awash Bank reference

An Awash Bank receipt carries a reference with dashes in it: the same code that appears in the receipt's link.

Haq reads the whole reference, dashes included, from a photo of the receipt, so the cashier doesn't have to copy it by hand.

How it works at the counter

  1. The cashier photographs or scans the customer's Awash Bank confirmation, or types the reference.
  2. Haq gets Awash Bank's official receipt for that reference and runs the four checks.
  3. Green: hand the goods over. Red: Haq says what's wrong, so the cashier knows what to ask.

What you need

  • The account or accounts your shop receives Awash Bank transfers on. The owner registers them once.
  • An Android phone with mobile data or Wi-Fi for each cashier.
  • Nothing from the customer: they pay from their own Awash Bank app, as they do today.

Questions

Why does the Awash reference have dashes in it?

That is how Awash Bank writes its receipt references. Haq expects them: the cashier photographs the receipt and Haq picks the reference out.

What if Awash Bank's system is down?

Your cashier sees “try again”, never “verified”. A payment is only marked verified once Awash Bank's own receipt confirms it.

How much does it cost?

There's a free plan with 50 verifications a month. Paid plans start at 299 ETB a month.
