The birr is managed, and since the 2024 shift to a more flexible regime the figure has moved more freely. That makes agreeing the USD/ETB rate before payment worthwhile.

Most global settlements and commodity contracts are denominated in US dollars. A request at ATM24 goes through the site form or straight to a manager, and the rate is quoted before payment.

When this pair is needed

Coffee buyers use this direction, along with staff of international organisations in Addis Ababa and specialists on infrastructure projects. Cash birr is what settles things locally.

How the exchange is arranged

Use the exchange form on the site or write to a manager: name the dollar amount, the city and the payout option for birr. The USD/ETB rate and the final sum are agreed before payment.
