About
Telebirr is the mobile money service of Ethio Telecom, Ethiopia's state-owned telecom operator, launched in May 2021 and supervised by the National Bank of Ethiopia. The birr-denominated wallet is tied to the customer's Ethio Telecom number and used through the *127# USSD menu or the telebirr SuperApp; cash goes in and out at agents and Ethio Telecom shops. Besides transfers, merchant and bill payments and international remittances, it offers built-in micro-credit (Mela), overdraft (Endekise) and savings (Sanduq). Ethio Telecom reported 60.6 million telebirr customers, 410,700 agents and ETB 4.19 trillion in transactions for fiscal 2025/26.
