Using NorthOne in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Local banking landscape · Ethiopia · Africa
Addis Ababa is Africa's political capital (hosting the African Union), a major East African trade hub, and Ethiopia's economic core with a fast-growing services, construction, and manufacturing sector.
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. ETB accounts and multi-currency options are both available. Compare and open your account entirely online — no branch visit required.
