What you can paste for ZamZam Bank
- The receipt link
- https://receipt.zamzambank.com.et/receipt/FAKE0000
- The transaction reference
- FAKE0000000000
Where to find it. The ZamZam Bank SMS, or the ZamZam app.
The thing that catches people out
ZamZam serves its receipts as JSON from a backend host rather than as a web page, so the link a customer opens in a browser and the address the data actually comes from are different. Either one works here.
How to check a ZamZam Bank payment before you hand over goods
- 1.Get the reference, not a screenshotAsk for the the receipt link. The ZamZam Bank SMS, or the ZamZam app. A screenshot is a picture of a claim; the reference is the thing ZamZam 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 receipt-backend.zamzambank.com.et, which is ZamZam Bank's own receipt service.
- 3.Check the amount and the receiverCompare both against your own record. A ZamZam 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 ZamZam Bank receipt shown to two sellers verifies for both of them, and nothing on the receipt itself says it has been spent.
Questions about ZamZam Bank
How do I verify a ZamZam Bank transaction?
Take the the receipt link from the ZamZam Bank receipt and paste it into links.et. It fetches the receipt from receipt-backend.zamzambank.com.et, which is ZamZam Bank's own receipt service, and returns the amount, sender, receiver, reference and timestamp exactly as the bank recorded them. The ZamZam Bank SMS, or the ZamZam app.
What does a ZamZam Bank transaction reference look like?
ZamZam Bank accepts 2 kinds of input: the receipt link, the transaction reference. An example of the first shape is https://receipt.zamzambank.com.et/receipt/FAKE0000, which is invented rather than a real reference.
Can a ZamZam Bank payment screenshot be faked?
Yes. Any screenshot can be edited, and edited ZamZam Bank screenshots are common enough that a picture should never be treated as proof on its own. What cannot be edited is the receipt ZamZam Bank publishes at receipt-backend.zamzambank.com.et. links.et goes and reads that, so the amount you see is the bank's, not the image's.
Why did my ZamZam Bank lookup come back empty?
ZamZam serves its receipts as JSON from a backend host rather than as a web page, so the link a customer opens in a browser and the address the data actually comes from are different. Either one works here.
Is ZamZam Bank verification down?
links.et probes receipt-backend.zamzambank.com.et every few minutes from inside Ethiopia and publishes the result at https://links.et/status/zamzam, 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.
