Full Breakdown

Your Payment Choices Here

Everything is shown in Ethiopian Birr (ETB). Players in Ethiopia won't encounter forex conversion or cross-border wire transfers.

The payment network is purpose-built for Ethiopia. Mobile money leads the charge since it reaches the broadest audience: more than 40 million folks use Telebirr nationwide, making it your quickest way to fuel your account. CBE Birr syncs straight to Commercial Bank of Ethiopia accounts, the nation's top lender by saved deposits. For Safaricom customers, M-Pesa and HelloCash deliver the same pace while staying in ETB.

Classic bank transfers work for those who'd rather withdraw from a checking or savings account. Settlement hinges on which bank you pick. CBE, Dashen, and Awash normally complete within a day or three working hours. Transfers made on weekends or holidays land on the next business day.
