historyOur Journey

How we got here

From a simple idea to Nigeria's fastest SMS verification service — here's our story.

The Idea
After struggling to verify multiple accounts on major platforms, our founder decided to build a solution for Nigerians and Africans facing the same problem.

KanSMS launched with 3 servers and 20 services. The first 500 users onboarded in under a week — validating massive demand.
2024
Scale & API
Expanded to 100+ services, launched the developer API, and integrated virtual bank accounts for seamless Naira top-ups.
2025–2026
190+ Countries
Now serving users across Africa, Asia, and Europe with 190+ country coverage and 500+ supported platforms — with more being added weekly.
Upcoming
What's Next
Mobile app, team accounts, reseller program, and expanded crypto payment options. The best is yet to come.
