The thing that catches people out
Oromia Bank serves the same receipt with Afaan Oromoo and English labels depending on how it is requested. The parsed result reads the English side, so the field names you get back are stable whichever language the customer saw.
How to check an Oromia Bank payment before you hand over goods
- 1.Get the reference, not a screenshotAsk for the the receipt link. The Oromia Bank SMS, or the transaction detail in the app. A screenshot is a picture of a claim; the reference is the thing Oromia 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 obinfo.oromiabank.com, which is Oromia Bank's own receipt service.
- 3.Check the amount and the receiverCompare both against your own record. A Oromia 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 Oromia Bank receipt shown to two sellers verifies for both of them, and nothing on the receipt itself says it has been spent.
Questions about Oromia Bank
How do I verify an Oromia Bank transaction?

Oromia Bank accepts 2 kinds of input: the receipt link, the transaction reference. An example of the first shape is https://obinfo.oromiabank.com/invoice/pdf/FAKE000000000000, which is invented rather than a real reference.
Can an Oromia Bank payment screenshot be faked?
Yes. Any screenshot can be edited, and edited Oromia Bank screenshots are common enough that a picture should never be treated as proof on its own. What cannot be edited is the receipt Oromia Bank publishes at obinfo.oromiabank.com. links.et goes and reads that, so the amount you see is the bank's, not the image's.
Why did my Oromia Bank lookup come back empty?
Oromia Bank serves the same receipt with Afaan Oromoo and English labels depending on how it is requested. The parsed result reads the English side, so the field names you get back are stable whichever language the customer saw.
Is Oromia Bank verification down?
links.et probes obinfo.oromiabank.com every few minutes from inside Ethiopia and publishes the result at https://links.et/status/oromia, 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.
