Buy crypto with Telebirr (and what about eBirr and CBE Birr?)

Buying USDT with Telebirr

• Add your Telebirr number under payment details (it must be registered in your name).
• Choose a sell ad that lists Telebirr, enter the amount of USDT, and place the order.
• Send the Birr from Telebirr to the seller's number shown on the order, exactly the amount shown.
• Paste the Telebirr transaction ID, the receipt link or the SMS you received. The payment is checked against Telebirr's own records and the USDT is released to you.

eBirr

eBirr payments are not supported on Collext yet. If you only have eBirr, move the Birr to your Telebirr or bank account first, then pay from there. We add payment methods as we can verify them automatically, and eBirr is on the list.

CBE Birr and bank transfers

Transfers from the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia app are verified from the receipt link the app gives you after a transfer. Awash and Dashen work the same way. Paying from a bank account in your own name is required: the name on the receipt is checked.

Common Telebirr mistakes

• Paying from someone else's Telebirr: the payer must be you.
• Rounding the amount: send exactly what the order shows, down to the cents.
• Paying late: the order has a payment window; ask for more time from the order page before it runs out.
• Reusing a transaction ID: each Telebirr transaction can be used for one order only.
