Berhan Bank Launches Fuel Payment App

Berhan Bank announces the launch of its digital fuel payment system, developed with the Ministry of Transport & Logistics. The 'Fuel Aggregator' app advances fuel transaction digitalisation, improving security and process.

The application links with fuel retailers, letting customers authorise payments through mobile banking password. Berhan Bank’s digital efforts reflect its focus on financial access and service. By embedding banking in daily use, the bank seeks to support users nationwide with a streamlined financial system. The system, first available at selected fuel stations, will expand to all outlets. The bank also plans to add payment options, including QR codes, to increase access. This move reflects the bank’s focus on essential services for users and retailers.
