Mobile money payments for businesses in Addis Ababa
Customers in Addis Ababa pay by telebirr, CBE Birr and M-Pesa Ethiopia. These are the five things that make those payments safe for a business, and how CheckThis handles them.
The top 5
- The money goes straight to youPayments go into your own merchant account; they never pass through APOPS or CheckThis.
- Paid means confirmedFor online payments (bank transfers and cards recorded against the invoice), CheckThis asks the provider to confirm each payment before the invoice is marked paid. A screenshot never counts.
- Every reference used onceAt the counter, each mobile money reference is typed once and can never be used again; the supervisor checks them against the statement.
- Receipts by themselvesOnce a payment is confirmed, the receipt is issued and sent, and it appears in the daily collections report.
- Payouts with approvalSupplier, staff and contractor payments are prepared by one person and approved by another before they leave.
