Bank Withdrawal Now Available in Ethiopia — Direct to Your Bank Account

We've heard from Ethiopian users that bank withdrawal flexibility was the #1 request. Starting today, you can withdraw to your bank account in addition to Telebirr.

How it works:

Telebirr remains available for instant withdrawals. Bank transfers are best for larger amounts or users who prefer direct bank deposits.

Supported banks include CBE (Commercial Bank of Ethiopia), Awash Bank, Dashen Bank, Abyssinia Bank, United Bank, and all other major Ethiopian commercial banks.

Why we built this:

Ethiopian users consistently told us that Telebirr limits on large withdrawals and the preference for formal bank records (especially for tax purposes) made bank transfers essential. This update removes that barrier entirely.
