Bank verification
Verify Bank of Abyssinia (BOA) Transactions
BOA transaction checks using SMS receipt links or the reference and the sender's account.
The fastest way to verify a Bank of Abyssinia (BOA) payment is to paste the receipt link from the payment SMS - it already contains everything BOA needs. For manual entry, BOA matches BOA-to-BOA transfers by the sender's (payer's) account, so enter the payer's account alongside the reference; the last 5 digits are enough.

Frequently asked questions
Which account number does BOA verification need?
For BOA-to-BOA transfers, BOA looks up the slip by the sender's (payer's) account - your receiving account will return 'Transaction not found'. Use the payer's account (last 5 digits are enough) or simply paste the receipt link from the payment SMS. Only transfers arriving from another bank are looked up with your receiving BOA account.
