How a payment works

  1. The customer brings their phone close

    No app to open on the customer’s side, no code to type. It takes no longer than a tap.

  2. The merchant gets paid

    The amount leaves the customer’s Mobile Money account and lands in the merchant’s wallet, in ETB.

  3. Everyone keeps their proof

    Both phones receive the confirmation. No more “I’ve paid” versus “I’ve received nothing”.
