How to verify Commercial Bank of Ethiopia transactions

Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE) is the largest bank in Ethiopia and the most common settlement rail for Ethiopian businesses. CBE receipts are published as public PDF documents accessible via a URL combining the FT transaction reference and the last 8 digits of the receiving account number.

Who this route is for

  • Retail counters confirming in-person CBE transfers
  • Delivery teams validating payment before handover
  • Finance teams reconciling daily CBE inflows
  • Developers automating CBE checks through the REST API

Step-by-step

  1. 01Get the FT reference number from the customer's receipt (starts with FT)
  2. 02Get the last 8 digits of your receiving CBE account number
  3. 03LIQverify fetches the official PDF from CBE's public endpoint and extracts payment data

What this verification route checks

LIQverify starts a live request to Commercial Bank of Ethiopia using their public receipt endpoint. A successful check returns structured payment data — parties, amount, time, and any extra fields the bank or wallet exposes.

How to read the result

Confirmed means the bank record matched. Failed shows a clear reason (format, not found, network, or geo-block). Never treat a screenshot alone as proof — only the bank confirmation counts.

Older FT / legacy references

Commercial Bank of Ethiopia may need receiving account number (last 8 digits) together with the reference. Newer receipt links often work with the ID alone.

Edited or forged screenshots

Always paste the reference (or use QR / photo OCR) and let LIQverify re-check the bank. Do not trust a polished image without a live confirmation.

FAQ

What is a CBE FT reference number?

The FT reference is a unique transaction identifier assigned by CBE to every transfer. It appears on the customer's receipt and starts with the letters FT followed by 10 alphanumeric characters, such as FT26140P01YB.

Can I verify CBE with only the reference number?

No for bare FT references. CBE's public PDF receipt needs the FT reference plus the last 8 digits of the receiving account. Paste a full receipt link only when it already includes those digits.

Does CBE charge for receipt verification?

No. The CBE receipt endpoint is a public URL that returns a PDF. LIQverify confirms against that official public receipt URL.

Why does LIQverify need my account number?

CBE's receipt URL is constructed as the FT reference concatenated with the last 8 digits of the receiving account. Without the account digits, the URL returns a 404. LIQverify only uses the last 8 digits and never stores the full account number.
