Supported countries for SMS verification

Which countries support SMS OTP delivery for phone number verification and 2FA, and what to do if your country is not listed.

Written by Lars Böhnke

When you add a mobile number to your Candis profile, we send a one-time password (OTP) by SMS to verify your number. SMS delivery is only supported for the countries listed below. If your number is from a country not on this list, you will not receive the SMS.

Supported countries

New countries are added on an ongoing basis. If your country is not listed, contact our support team to request it.

What to do if your country is not supported

If you are unable to receive SMS codes, you can still log in to Candis by switching to an alternative two-factor authentication method. However, please note that this does not apply to credit card payments — see below.

  1. Log in to Candis.

  2. Go to your profile (click your name in the bottom left) → Account → Security.

  3. Select Authenticator app → Add.

  4. Download an authenticator app such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator.

  5. Follow the on-screen steps to link the app to your account.

Switching to an authenticator app resolves login (2FA) only. It does not replace SMS for credit card payments.

Credit card payments

Candis credit cards use Visa 3D Secure for payment verification, which currently only supports SMS. There is no alternative method for card payments at this time — a verified mobile number from a supported country is required to use Candis credit cards.

If you need to use Candis credit cards but your country is not supported, please contact our support team.
