# Verifying Awash Bank Payments

> Step-by-step guide for Awash Bank (AwashPay)

## Required fields

| Field                | Example         |
| -------------------- | --------------- |
| `bank`               | `awash`         |
| `transaction_number` | `AW25220099888` |

Awash does **not** require `account_number`. The transaction reference alone is enough.

## Finding the reference

Open the AwashPay app → transaction → **Share**. The reference number is shown on the receipt or in the share URL.

## Example

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.check.et/api/v1/verify \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer chk_xxx" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "bank": "awash",
    "transaction_number": "AW25220099888"
  }'
```

## Via receipt URL

```json theme={null}
{
  "receipt_url": "https://... (AwashPay share link)"
}
```

## Via PDF or screenshot

Awash receipts from the app support image verification. Send the file with `receipt_file`, plus `receipt_text` (OCR) for images.
