What this verification route checks
LIQverify starts a live request to CBE Birr 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.
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
Do I always need a phone number for CBE Birr?
For bare transaction IDs, yes — CBE Birr's public receipt endpoint needs the payer phone (PH) plus the reference. If you paste a full receipt link that already includes phone, you can skip the phone field.
Why does CBE Birr need a phone number?
CBE Birr's receipt endpoint requires the payer's phone number as an additional verification factor. This prevents unauthorized receipt enumeration.
