ESX SMS Verification

The ESX SMS verification process helps you pass the sign-up step for this securities exchange investment platform using a virtual number.

ESX is an exchange/investment platform where investors can carry out share and other securities transactions through a mobile app; it is known as the official trading platform of the Ethiopian Securities Exchange. As a financial service, it requires one-time SMS (OTP) verification at account opening to confirm your identity and contact details.

To verify with a virtual number, enter the number from your panel into the phone field on the sign-up screen; the platform sends an OTP code to it, and the verification step completes once you enter the code. It is a convenient method for users who want to explore the platform, test the registration flow or pass the initial verification without sharing their personal line.

Never share your OTP code with anyone; on financial platforms, sharing a code can lead to your account being compromised. Because real investment transactions usually also require identity and KYC verification, you should continue with your own current details for permanent use. A virtual number is suited only to completing the SMS verification step.
