Built for Africa's
digital economy.
We started SMM Portal because buying and selling social accounts in Africa was broken — no escrow, no verification, no trust. We fixed that.
From frustration to a platform that works
SMM Portal was founded in Douala, Cameroon by a team who had seen too many buyers get scammed and too many legitimate sellers struggle to build trust. The market existed — social accounts were trading hands every day — but the infrastructure to do it safely simply wasn't there.
We spent months building the escrow layer, the KYC verification system, and the dispute process before we opened a single listing. Trust first, marketplace second.
Today we're Africa's leading social account marketplace, operating across Cameroon, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and beyond — all in USD, all secured by escrow.
The idea
After a third bad experience sourcing a social account with zero buyer protection, we decided to build what should have existed years earlier.
Beta launch
First 50 sellers onboarded with manual KYC. Every transaction manually escrowed. Painful to run — but it proved the model worked.
Automated escrow & wallet
Integrated Fapshi mobile money, built the automated escrow engine, and launched the full wallet system with instant top-ups.
50,000 users and growing
Flash sales, referral programme, buyer protection guarantee, and a full dispute centre. Still run by the same small team — still obsessed with trust.
Escrow first
No money moves until both parties are satisfied. Every single transaction, no exceptions.
KYC sellers
Every seller goes through identity verification before listing. You know who you're buying from.
Human support
Real people handle disputes and support requests — no bots making final decisions about your money.
Built for Africa
Mobile money top-ups, USD pricing, and support that understands the African digital economy.
We believe in transparent, secure digital commerce
Our mission is to make buying and selling digital assets as safe and reliable as any other e-commerce purchase — with protections that actually hold up when something goes wrong.
We don't just provide a listing page. We hold the funds, verify the sellers, mediate the disputes, and stand behind every transaction.
What you can count on when you trade on SMM Portal

Your payment is locked until you confirm receipt of the account credentials. Released automatically or after dispute resolution.
72-hour dispute window
