Why Sendexa OTP

Built for African authentication

Most OTP providers are built for Europe or the US. Sendexa is built for the realities of African connectivity — low bandwidth, diverse telecoms, and high fraud risk.

Sub-3s Delivery

OTPs reach users in under 3 seconds on average, across all major African telecom networks.

Auto Fallback

If SMS fails, automatically retry via WhatsApp or Voice — zero missed verifications.

Pan-African Coverage

Direct carrier connections in Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Côte d'Ivoire, and 15+ more markets.

Fraud Protection

Rate limiting, IP intelligence, and SIM-swap detection built into every OTP request.

Simple API

One endpoint to send and verify. SDKs for Node.js, Python, PHP, and Go.

Full Analytics

Track delivery rates, conversion funnels, and drop-off points in real time.

Developer-first

Send & verify in under 10 lines

A single API handles the full OTP lifecycle — generation, delivery, retry logic, and verification. No third-party services to stitch together.
