e-CNY SMS Verification

Complete the e-CNY SMS verification with a virtual number to activate your digital yuan wallet. As China's official digital currency, e-CNY asks for phone verification when you open a wallet.

e-CNY is the digital yuan issued by the People's Bank of China, the country's official central bank digital currency (CBDC). It works as the digital counterpart of cash yuan for in-store and online payments. When you open a new account, the wallet app sends an SMS code to your phone number to confirm your identity and access, a standard security step across financial services.

Verifying with a virtual number simply means entering the number on the app's sign-up screen and typing in the incoming code. A virtual number is practical for those who want to try the app from outside China, keep a personal line separate, or verify without carrying a second SIM. The code arrives quickly. Keep in mind that full wallet features usually require additional ID and a link to a local bank.

Because e-CNY is a payment tool, keep your wallet details and login credentials private. A virtual number is only for receiving the first SMS code; your balance and transactions are tied directly to your account. Under China's regulations, higher wallet tiers require identity verification, so use the number only for the initial step.
