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 receiving account suffix are required to verify the payment.
Can I verify CBE with only the reference number?
No. CBE verification requires the FT reference plus the last eight digits of the credited 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.
