Addis Ababa's fintech scene is rapidly evolving, with CBE Birr and Telebirr (Ethiopia Telecom's mobile money) gaining massive adoption, and the government opening the sector to private players. ETB mobile money accounts, digital banking for a large AU and NGO community, and business accounts for Addis Ababa's booming construction and services economy.
