Verify Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE) transfers at the counter
Customers pay with CBE mobile banking and show you the confirmation. Haq checks the transfer against CBE's own receipt, so your cashier knows the money reached your account before anything leaves the counter.
Last updated:
What Haq checks on every CBE transfer
- It went to your account: the credited account on CBE's receipt is one your shop registered.
- It's the right amount: never less than what your cashier entered.
- It was paid just now: yesterday's receipt shown again doesn't pass.
- Nobody has used it before: each CBE reference counts once, at any shop on Haq.
How it works at the counter
- The cashier photographs the customer's confirmation screen, scans the receipt's QR code, or types the transaction reference (it starts with FT).
- Haq gets CBE's official receipt for that reference and runs the four checks.
- Green: hand the goods over. Red: Haq says what's wrong, so the cashier knows what to ask.
What you need
- The CBE account or accounts your shop receives 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 CBE app, as they do today.
