The thing that catches people out
Awash publishes the receipt under the transfer reference rather than under an account, so the same reference works whichever side of the transfer you are on. Sender and receiver see the same document.
How to check an Awash Bank payment before you hand over goods
- 1.Get the reference, not a screenshotAsk for the the receipt link from the SMS. The Awash confirmation SMS, or the Awash Birr app transaction list. A screenshot is a picture of a claim; the reference is the thing Awash Bank can confirm.
- 2.Look it upPaste it in, or send it to the API from your own system. links.et fetches the receipt from awashpay.awashbank.com, which is Awash Bank's own receipt service.
- 3.Check the amount and the receiverCompare both against your own record. A Awash Bank receipt that resolves but pays a different account is the most common real fraud, and it is easy to miss when you only read the status line.
- 4.Check it is not a repeatConfirm the reference is not one you have already accepted. A genuine Awash Bank receipt shown to two sellers verifies for both of them, and nothing on the receipt itself says it has been spent.

Awash Bank accepts 2 kinds of input: the receipt link from the SMS, the transaction reference. An example of the first shape is https://awashpay.awashbank.com:8225/-FAKE0fake0FA, which is invented rather than a real reference.
Can an Awash Bank payment screenshot be faked?
Yes. Any screenshot can be edited, and edited Awash Bank screenshots are common enough that a picture should never be treated as proof on its own. What cannot be edited is the receipt Awash Bank publishes at awashpay.awashbank.com. links.et goes and reads that, so the amount you see is the bank's, not the image's.
Why did my Awash Bank lookup come back empty?
Awash publishes the receipt under the transfer reference rather than under an account, so the same reference works whichever side of the transfer you are on. Sender and receiver see the same document.
Is Awash Bank verification down?
links.et probes awashpay.awashbank.com every few minutes from inside Ethiopia and publishes the result at https://links.et/status/awash, with the history behind it. If that page shows an outage, the bank's receipt service is unreachable and no verification tool can read it, including this one. Payments made during an outage still verify normally once it clears.
