Money Tips
📱
Telebirr
Ethiopia's mobile money platform. Widely accepted for taxis, market vendors, and some hotels. Download Ethio Telecom's Telebirr app before you travel for seamless cashless payments.
Best Exchange
Use Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE), Dashen Bank, or Awash Bank for official rates. Keep receipts — needed to convert ETB back on departure.
Cards & ATMs
Visa and Mastercard work at major hotels and upscale restaurants. ATMs available at Bole Airport, CBE, and Dashen branches in Addis. Always carry cash for street food, local taxis, and markets.
Avoid Street Changers
Never exchange money with informal street traders — it is illegal and you risk receiving counterfeit notes. Stick to licensed banks and official hotel desks.
