You shouldnā€™t have to choose between security and conversions or delivering a positive UX to your customers. In some countries, messaging apps like WhatsApp are extremely popular for communication.  

With WhatsApp Authentication, you can offer your customers the choice of receiving an OTP in the app theyā€™re already familiar with. With end-to-end encryption, secure delivery, and global compliance, we help you keep your customers happy and their accounts secure.

Step up your security with these WhatsApp OTP benefits

Using WhatsApp as a verification channel can bring great benefits to your business and your customers.

Build trust with customers by sending OTP messages from a branded and authentic business account accompanied by a green badge with a verified check. WhatsApp also ensures that only the end user can view the delivered message (end-to-end encryption), which helps reduce potential spam and fraud attacks.

Integrate easily, use ready-to-go authentication message templates, and go live instantly. With Sinch, we also make it much easier for you to scale and use fallback verification methods like SMS or Flash Call if necessary.

Get Delivered and Read receipts for all messages plus additional analytics.

Make the authentication process seamless and more convenient for your customers on a reliable channel that they use regularly.

Ensure a best-in-class authentication experience

The digital landscape has increased the number of touchpoints a customer has during their journeyā€‹. With the increase of fraud and security threats, authentication is key to keep your customersā€™ information secure. You can prevent attacks by enforcing OTP verification at different stages of the customer journey.   

The WhatsApp Business API encrypts all messages, so that only the customer can view the message. This makes WhatsApp a more reliable channel to send OTPs on and decreases the chance of bad actors getting access to both a password and an OTP. In some markets, WhatsApp OTP can help you reduce your messaging costs. Reach out to us for more information and pricing and double up on security today!
