Verify Dashen Bank transfers before the goods leave

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

What Haq checks on every Dashen Bank transfer

  • It went to your account: the receiver on Dashen 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 Dashen Bank reference

A Dashen Bank receipt has two long numbers on it. The payment's reference is the one labelled Transaction Reference; the 10-digit number is the bank's TIN, not the reference.

Haq reads the reference from its label, so it never confuses the two.

How it works at the counter

  1. The cashier photographs or scans the customer's Dashen Bank confirmation, or types the reference.
  2. Haq gets Dashen 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 Dashen 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 Dashen Bank app, as they do today.

Questions

Which number on a Dashen receipt is the reference?

The one labelled Transaction Reference. The 10-digit number elsewhere on the receipt is the bank's TIN. Haq reads the labelled reference, so the cashier doesn't need to pick.

What if Dashen Bank's system is down?

Your cashier sees “try again”, never “verified”. A payment is only marked verified once Dashen 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.
