In the palm of your customers’ hands
Clear, direct and delivered straight to their mobile, SMS for banking is one of the best ways to reach people – and Esendex offers both no-reply SMS alerts or SMS Chat to enable two-way dialogue.
Our platform supports other communications such as WhatsApp and email too, giving customers the flexibility to choose how and where they interact with you.
Combat fraud with secure SMS verification
One time passwords (OTPs) and SMS alerts are key weapons in the fight against fraud in the financial services industry.
These measures protect both customers and your business from financial losses, and send a clear message that you have robust security processes in place.
