M-PESA Ethiopia Expands Cardless ATM Withdrawals Through Awash Bank Partnership

M-PESA Ethiopia  has expanded its cardless ATM cash withdrawal service through a new partnership with Awash Bank , giving customers broader access to cash withdrawals without the need for a physical bank card.

Under the partnership, M-PESA customers can withdraw cash directly from supported Awash Bank ATMs using the M-PESA App. Customers can access the service by selecting the M-PESA section in the app, choosing “Withdrawal” and then “Withdraw at ATM,” before authorising the transaction and completing the required authentication.

M-PESA said transactions are processed in real time, enabling customers to access their funds quickly and conveniently. The service is designed to provide an alternative for customers who may not have their physical ATM cards with them.

The addition of Awash Bank’s ATM network is expected to strengthen interoperability between financial services and expand access to cardless cash withdrawal options for M-PESA customers across Ethiopia.
