Can banks & NBFCs use WhatsApp Business API to send these templates?
Yes. banks & NBFCs of every size — from solo founders to enterprise teams — can apply for the WhatsApp Business API through an Official Meta Tech Partner like LandinChat. Once your number is approved you can send template messages (marketing, utility, authentication) to opted-in customers at scale.
Do template messages for banks & NBFCs need approval from Meta?
Every template that initiates a conversation outside the 24-hour service window must be pre-approved by Meta. Approval typically takes a few minutes to a few hours. Inside the 24-hour window you can reply with free-form messages without approval.
How much does it cost a bank to send WhatsApp messages?
Meta charges a per-conversation rate that depends on your country and the conversation category (marketing, utility, authentication, service). LandinChat passes through Meta's rate at cost — see the pricing page for the full breakdown.
What kind of WhatsApp message templates work best for banks & NBFCs?
Short, action-oriented messages with one clear CTA convert best. Use the customer's first name, keep the body under 4 lines, include a single button (View, Pay, Confirm, Reply), and pair marketing broadcasts with utility messages so you build a healthy quality rating.
Can transactional alerts go on WhatsApp instead of SMS?
Yes — Meta's utility category is designed exactly for this. WhatsApp Business API delivers debit / credit / OTP alerts with higher read rates and richer formatting than SMS.
