Unite.et, a new online service, has launched to enable Ethiopians living abroad to remotely register and open local bank accounts in both local and foreign currencies. The platform aims to facilitate access to banking services for the Ethiopian diaspora, providing a variety of financial services without requiring users to visit a physical branch in Ethiopia.
In addition to account registration, the platform offers services such as loan applications, account management, and other banking functionalities through its online interface.
The service is accessible via the unite.et website and mobile apps and is supported by the National Bank of Ethiopia. This initiative is part of a broader effort to promote formal remittances into Ethiopia and provide more accessible financial services to the diaspora.
This development highlights the increasing role of digital banking solutions in providing essential financial services to users worldwide.
