Bill collection

Bills your payers settle at their own bank

Every bill from BranaPay carries one reference. Payers give it in their bank's app, by USSD or at the branch; the bank looks the bill up, takes the payment into your account and confirms it to BranaPay at once.

What you get

One reference for every bank

A 13-digit number that works the same at CBE, Awash and Anbesa, short enough to read out over the phone or type on any keypad.

No typos reach your books

A check digit catches a mistyped or swapped digit before the bank looks anything up, so the teller corrects it on the spot.

Straight into your account

The bank credits your organization's own account and checks it against your name. BranaPay never holds your money.

Paid once, confirmed once

Each bill takes one payment. A retry from the bank is recognized, so nobody is charged twice.

Matched and receipted

The payment lands on the right member, pledge or order the moment the bank confirms it, and the payer gets a receipt.

Reconciliation with each bank

Bank payments, settlement files and a reconciliation view show what each bank confirmed and paid, day by day.

How it works

  1. Issue the bill from a payment link or any BranaPay module

  2. The payer gives the reference at their bank, in the app, by USSD or at a branch

  3. The bank confirms; the bill is marked paid and receipted

Who it's for

Organizations whose payers prefer to pay at the bank: schools, associations, clubs and religious organizations.

Questions

Which banks can my payers use?

Commercial Bank of Ethiopia, Awash Bank and Anbesa Bank, with more banks being added. Your organization needs an account at each bank you collect through.

Does each organization register with the bank?

No. BranaPay is the biller at each bank. Once your bank channel is approved and your account verified, your bills are payable.
