Dashen Bank has launched “Dashen Air Pay,” an innovative digital payment solution allowing customers to complete transactions without bank accounts, QR codes, or phone numbers. Integrated directly into the Dashen Super App, the service leverages proximity technology to seamlessly connect shoppers with nearby merchants in real time.
The official launch event, held at the Sheraton Addis Hotel, marked a significant milestone in Ethiopia’s expanding digital finance ecosystem. Bank executives emphasized that the new tool is engineered to eliminate traditional checkout barriers, fostering a more inclusive and interconnected commercial environment for both consumers and local businesses.
To utilize the service, customers simply open the Dashen Super App and select the “Dashen Air Pay” feature. The application automatically detects and displays participating commercial establishments within the user’s immediate vicinity, streamlining the merchant discovery process without requiring manual searches or external hardware.
Once a merchant is selected, users input the transaction amount and authenticate the payment by entering their secure PIN. According to bank representatives, the entire verification and transfer sequence executes in a matter of seconds, ensuring high-speed processing for daily retail interactions.
Industry observers note that this rollout arrives as Ethiopia experiences rapid acceleration in mobile and digital banking adoption. By bridging the operational gap between merchants and buyers, Dashen Bank aims to drive financial inclusion forward while setting a new benchmark for convenience in the national payment landscape.
