Paysera SMS Verification

A virtual number can handle the Paysera SMS verification step; before opening an account with this Lithuanian e-money institution, learn what role the number plays.

Paysera is the service of Paysera LT, UAB, which has held an electronic money institution licence from the Bank of Lithuania since 2012. It offers IBAN payment accounts, currency exchange, payment cards, SEPA and SWIFT transfers and payment tools for businesses. Sign-up in the app starts with your phone number confirmed by SMS, and one-time codes sent to that number are also used when linking the app and setting its PIN.

At Paysera the phone number is only the first step: your identity is then verified (KYC) with a photo of your passport or ID card and a selfie. That limits what a virtual number can do; it can be a temporary option for someone who has just moved country, has no local SIM yet and is opening the account in their own name. Accounts cannot be opened for someone else or with false documents.

Paysera will not let you add a number that has already been used and approved for another person, so recycled virtual numbers may be rejected. Since app setup and some actions are confirmed with codes sent to the linked number, make a number you will control long term your primary number once the account is open.
