The thing that catches people out
Zemen serves its receipts as PDFs and is consistently the slowest upstream on the list, even when it is perfectly healthy. A Zemen lookup that takes several seconds is normal, not a failure. Its labels are bilingual, so the parsed result reads the English side.
How to check a Zemen Bank payment before you hand over goods
- 1.Get the reference, not a screenshotAsk for the the share link. Zemen sends a share link by SMS. The token is the long segment in the middle of that link. A screenshot is a picture of a claim; the reference is the thing Zemen 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 share.zemenbank.com, which is Zemen Bank's own receipt service.
- 3.Check the amount and the receiverCompare both against your own record. A Zemen 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 Zemen Bank receipt shown to two sellers verifies for both of them, and nothing on the receipt itself says it has been spent.
Questions about Zemen Bank
How do I verify a Zemen Bank transaction?
Take the the share link from the Zemen Bank receipt and paste it into links.et. It fetches the receipt from share.zemenbank.com, which is Zemen Bank's own receipt service, and returns the amount, sender, receiver, reference and timestamp exactly as the bank recorded them. Zemen sends a share link by SMS. The token is the long segment in the middle of that link.
What does a Zemen Bank transaction reference look like?
Zemen Bank accepts 2 kinds of input: the share link, just the token (Twenty-four letters and digits: an eight-character prefix followed by a sixteen-character reference). An example of the first shape is https://share.zemenbank.com/rt/FAKE0000fake0000FAKE0000/pdf, which is invented rather than a real reference.
Can a Zemen Bank payment screenshot be faked?
Yes. Any screenshot can be edited, and edited Zemen Bank screenshots are common enough that a picture should never be treated as proof on its own. What cannot be edited is the receipt Zemen Bank publishes at share.zemenbank.com. links.et goes and reads that, so the amount you see is the bank's, not the image's.
Why did my Zemen Bank lookup come back empty?
Zemen serves its receipts as PDFs and is consistently the slowest upstream on the list, even when it is perfectly healthy. A Zemen lookup that takes several seconds is normal, not a failure. Its labels are bilingual, so the parsed result reads the English side.
Is Zemen Bank verification down?
links.et probes share.zemenbank.com every few minutes from inside Ethiopia and publishes the result at https://links.et/status/zemen, 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.
