telebirr app

With the cashless digital wallet app telebirr, Ethio telecom subscribers will gain access to a plethora of financial services without having to leave the comfort of their homes. This free-to-use business and productivity app is developed by the telecommunication services provider, aiming to merge third-party offerings with their own products and packages.

On the telebirr platform, the user will be able to set up an account using their phone number. After that, tasks like paying bills, purchasing e-commerce products, buying fuel or transportation tickets, and more will be right at the user’s fingertips.

About this app

Ethio telecom telebirr SuperApp is an all in one mobile app that enables you to access a wide range of services within a single app. The app allows you to get services you need in your day to day activities such as conducting telebirr transactions, telecom product purchases, e-commerce payments, goods & services purchases, digital financial services, government services payment, fuel payment, café & restaurants payment, ticketing & transport services, entertainment, merchant & utility payment, and much more.

Additionally, telebirr SuperApp has a capability to seamlessly onboard multiple 3rd party Mini-Apps from different industries. The mini apps platform allows you to access a wide range of services, including digital banking, ticketing, ride-hailing, delivery and more in a single app. You can access the mini apps through the in-app option on the main page of the Superapp, making it easy to switch between services.

One of the key features of the telebirr Superapp is its offline functionality for fuel transactions, allowing you to access the app and get the service without interruption even when the data network is not available. This feature is particularly useful in areas where network connectivity is limited.

Enjoy the convenience of telebirr SuperApp by making transactions solely on your mobile. No need to travel and carry physical cash, no need to switch between apps to complete different transactions, everything you need is available at the tip of your mobile.

Super app with lots of features

What sets telebirr apart from its peers is that it is more of a super app. Thanks to the integration with Ethio telecom’s partner merchants, this handy program can be used to send or receive money from banks, transfer funds to multiple people simultaneously through the ‘Group Send Money’ option, and even purchase Ethio telecom airtime and other data packages.

It can also be used to pay bills remotely instead of heading to a remittance center. If it is way too early to settle a bill yet, you can instead schedule the payment and the app will automatically fulfill it for you on the specified date. Cashless transactions can be made at select shops, restaurants, and gas stations through the app, as well.

Of course, the app does not lack in terms of security measures. Aside from the typical password or PIN unlock options, the user may also opt for biometric authentication through fingerprints or facial recognition instead. On the other hand, however, it has downsides like unnecessary ads that pop up in the middle of transactions, slow loading times, and infrequent app feature failure.

Reliable but not without cons

For Ethio telecom subscribers based in Ethiopia, having the telebirr app on their mobile devices is ideal. Not only can this app facilitate the purchase of the telecom’s air time or data packages, but it can also be used in transferring funds to single or multiple recipients, settling bills, and even making cashless transactions on the go. It contains ads, though, and suffers slow loading at times.
