The problem
A fake screenshot takes 30 seconds to make.
Edited amounts, reused receipts, screens from someone else's transfer, merchants across Ethiopia lose money every day to payment confirmations that look perfectly real.

Result in seconds
While your customer is still at the counter.
Every bank & wallet
One app covers all of them, no per-bank setup.
Transaction-ID lookup
The reference number is cross-checked against the bank's real record, so a reused receipt from last week never passes twice, and the amount & recipient must match yours.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Everything merchants ask us before their first snap.
Does my customer need to install anything?
No. Only you need proof.et. Your customer just shows their payment confirmation screen like they already do, you snap it and get the result.
Which banks and wallets does it work with?
All of them. Telebirr, M-Pesa, CBE, CBE Birr, Awash, Dashen, Bank of Abyssinia, Coop, e-Birr, HelloCash, Amole and every other Ethiopian bank or wallet that shows a payment confirmation screen.
What exactly does it check?
Three layers: image forensics to detect editing or photoshopping, a match between the amount and recipient and what you expect, and a transaction-reference check so an old receipt can't be reused on you twice.
How fast is a verification?
Typically under five seconds, fast enough to do it while the customer is still standing at your counter.
Does it work on screenshots sent over Telegram or WhatsApp?
Yes. You can verify a photo you take of the customer's phone or an image they sent you directly, both go through the same checks.
