Comparison FAQs

Verify.ET is best used when a business needs to confirm that an Ethiopian bank or wallet payment receipt is real before delivery, activation, or bookkeeping—not when it needs to collect, settle, or reverse funds.

No. Payment gateways accept and route money. Verify.ET verifies submitted transaction evidence from supported Ethiopian providers and returns structured status for operations and integrations.

For production teams that need multi-bank coverage, history, credits, dashboards, webhooks, and support, yes. For a one-off personal script against a single public receipt endpoint, a small open-source helper may be enough.
