Your Habtam Bet account connects to three mobile wallets: Telebirr, CBE Birr, and M-Pesa. Run by Ethio Telecom, Telebirr has the biggest footprint across Ethiopia and is what the majority of Habtam Bet users pick first. There's a 100 ETB minimum, and funds appear the moment you confirm in your app. CBE Birr ties straight to the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia's mobile app, making it ideal for those with existing CBE accounts. A CBE Birr withdrawal stretches to 24 hours versus the standard 2-hour window with Telebirr. Managed by Safaricom Ethiopia, M-Pesa offers the biggest single-transaction ceiling: 70,000 ETB, which makes it perfect for larger deposits without having to split.
Need to move more than mobile money allows? Awash Bank and Dashen Bank are your answer, perfect for those who prefer standard banking over digital wallets. The bottom limit sits at 500 ETB, and both accept up to 200,000 ETB per shot. Cash sent through bank transfer typically shows in your Habtam Bet account within two hours if you send it during business. Payouts follow regular banking settlement patterns - expect 1 to 3 business days from the moment Habtam Bet green-lights it. Speed matters? Mobile money wins. Big numbers? Awash and Dashen let you bypass what mobile wallets cap per push.
Getting funds into Habtam Bet takes less than 2 minutes with Telebirr, CBE Birr, or M-Pesa. You need at least 100 ETB to begin on any of the three.

That said, your mobile money service or bank can put their own tariff on outgoing transfers. Telebirr, CBE Birr, and M-Pesa all publish their own fee tables independent of Habtam Bet.

Before you can cash out for the first time, you'll go through identity checks. Deposits don't need this - up to a set threshold anyway.
Under its National Lottery Administration license, Habtam Bet must check your identity before releasing payouts. The process is quick: upload one of three allowed papers through your account verification space, and the team confirms you within 30 minutes to 24 hours. Once verified, all five payment routes open for withdrawal up to each one's limit. Bright, clear photos of your docs make the review faster. ID cards? Both sides count.
Use your Ethiopian National ID. Submit pics of the front and back. Pictures must be sharp with all text readable.
An Ethiopian or foreign passport works. Upload the ID page at full quality.
A new utility bill or bank statement verifies your address. It has to show your name and full address.
