You can fund your Habtam Bet account with as little as 100 ETB using Telebirr, CBE Birr, M-Pesa, or a direct bank transfer. Every transaction is processed in Ethiopian Birr at no cost to you. Telebirr and M-Pesa withdrawals arrive within 2 hours. Habtam Bet holds a National Lottery Administration license from Ethiopia.
Five separate channels handle both deposits and withdrawals. All transaction amounts use Ethiopian Birr. For speed from start to finish, Telebirr and M-Pesa lead the way.
| Method | Type | Starting Deposit | Deposit Ceiling | Starting Withdrawal | Withdrawal Ceiling | How Fast Deposits Arrive | How Fast Withdrawals Arrive | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Telebirr | Mobile Money | 100 ETB | 50,000 ETB | 100 ETB | 50,000 ETB | Immediate | Up to 2h | No Charge |

| M-Pesa | Mobile Money | 100 ETB | 70,000 ETB | 100 ETB | 70,000 ETB | Immediate | Up to 2h | No Charge |

Three digital wallets link directly to your Habtam Bet account: Telebirr, CBE Birr, and M-Pesa. Telebirr, run by Ethio Telecom, is the most popular mobile wallet throughout Ethiopia and the preferred method for many Habtam Bet users. You can start with just 100 ETB, and your deposit lands in your account immediately after approval in the app. CBE Birr pairs with the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia's mobile service, making it the ideal choice if you already bank with CBE. CBE Birr payouts take up to 24 hours, longer than the 2-hour turnaround you get with Telebirr. M-Pesa, managed by Safaricom Ethiopia, offers the highest transaction limit at 70,000 ETB per transfer, which works well for large deposits without having to break them into separate transactions.
Awash Bank and Dashen Bank take on the larger amounts that sit above mobile wallet ceilings and appeal to players who favor conventional banking. Starting at 500 ETB minimum, both banks accept transfers up to 200,000 ETB per single transaction. Your Habtam Bet account shows bank deposits within approximately two hours during normal banking hours. Payouts depend on interbank clearing schedules and typically land within 1 to 3 business days after Habtam Bet green-lights your request. If you need your money quickly, mobile money options move faster. If you're moving large sums, Awash Bank and Dashen Bank bypass the transaction caps that affect mobile payment apps.
You can complete a deposit using Telebirr, CBE Birr, or M-Pesa in under 120 seconds. All three mobile wallets have a 100 ETB minimum.

Habtam Bet takes no cut from deposits or withdrawals. It doesn't apply processing, handling, or currency swap charges. Every cent you deposit credits fully to your account, and every withdrawal goes out in full to your payment method. However, Telebirr, CBE Birr, M-Pesa, and your bank may impose their own charges on transaction requests. Each has its own published fee schedule independent of Habtam Bet. Before moving large sums, review your provider's fee table to understand what it costs on their end.
| Method | Habtam Bet Deposit Fee | Habtam Bet Withdrawal Fee | Provider Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Telebirr | Free | Free | Per Telebirr tariff |
| CBE Birr | Free | Free | Per CBE tariff |
| M-Pesa | Free | Free | Per M-Pesa tariff |
| Awash Bank | Free | Free | Per bank tariff |
| Dashen Bank | Free | Free | Per bank tariff |

You must submit both sides of an ID card.
Ethiopian National ID is accepted. You must provide photos of both sides. The image quality must be sharp with readable text.
Any valid Ethiopian or world passport is okay. Provide the photo ID page at high quality.
A recent utility bill or bank statement proves your residence. The document must display your full name and street address.
