Case Description

On 3 December 2021, the Fraud Investigations Division of the Inspectorate General Directorate of the EIB referred a complaint to the EIB-CM concerning M-BIRR Mobile Banking Service. The project is being developed by M-BIRR Limited, registered in Ireland and operating in Ethiopia via its subsidiary M-BIRR ICT. M-BIRR ICT offers a platform that processes mobile financial services transactions via its partner microfinance institutions.

The compliance review by the EIB-CM assessed the complainant’s allegations in the context of potential Bank maladministration. After conducting a review of available information, the EIB-CM concludes that the allegations are ungrounded.
