Kenya - Case Study

How a Kenyan fintech cut OTP failures and cost with eSMS transactional routing.

The challenge

A Nairobi fintech was losing sign-ups to slow and failed OTP delivery during peak M-Pesa hours, and lacked visibility into why messages failed.

What we did

  • Moved OTP traffic to a transactional Sender ID with priority routing
  • Enabled real-time signed delivery reports for full visibility
  • Tuned per-network routing for Safaricom peak windows
