Frequently asked questions

What is a CBE FT reference number?

It is the transfer reference printed on CBE receipts, usually starting with FT followed by alphanumeric characters. Both the FT reference and your full receiving account are required to verify the payment.

Can I verify CBE with only the reference number?

No. CBE verification requires the FT reference plus your full receiving account to match the official record.

Does Check.et support CBE receipt images?

Yes. You can upload CBE receipt screenshots in the dashboard when image verification is enabled for your workspace.
