Verify a Awash Bank Receipt Online

Check if a Awash receipt is real or fake.

How Awash receipt verification works

Awash Bank publishes transaction receipts at a public URL: https://awashpay.awashbank.com:8225/-{BASE36_TRANSACTION_ID}-{COUNTER_TOKEN}. No authentication is required. cheki fetches this URL, parses the HTML receipt, and returns structured JSON with sender name, receiver name, amount, date, and reference number.

What you need to verify a Awash receipt

To verify a Awash receipt, you need only the transaction reference number.

• Transaction reference number (e.g. 2KDL95Z0NR-4U61O6), found on the receipt or in the Awash app
• No account number required, Awash returns the full receipt with just the reference

How to spot a fake Awash receipt

Fake Awash receipts are a growing problem in Ethiopia. A fake receipt may have a real-looking reference number but will not appear in Awash's system. Always verify through cheki or the official Awash app. If cheki returns 'Receipt not found', the receipt is likely fake.

• Check that the sender name matches who claimed to send the payment
• Verify the amount matches what was agreed
• Confirm the date is recent (not an old receipt being reused)
• Check the reference number format (Awash share link from SMS (e.g. https://awashpay.awashbank.com:8225/-2KDL95Z0NR-4U61O6). The first segment is base-36 of the Transaction ID; the second segment is a server counter.)
