When the Lebanese government announced a tax on WhatsApp calling, chaotic protest erupted on an unprecedented scale. News outlets dubbed the protests, “The WhatsApp Revolution.” It’s not just Lebanon that relies on WhatsApp for day-to-day communication. WhatsApp connects 2 billion active users worldwide. It is becoming more popular than SMS.
As of 2022, WhatsApp connects about one fourth of the world population. It connects friends, family, and even business —but what about financial services? Firms in the United States feel hesitant to incorporate WhatsApp into their business practices because of compliance concerns, for good reason. Companies need to be able to prove a good faith attempt at regulating communications between their employees and customers, or they’ll be held liable for not protecting their customers. The company and employees can face expensive litigation, as well as a destroyed reputation. How can financial services adopt WhatsApp messaging?
When you’re evaluating your options, there are important factors to consider. Common solutions include background recording agents, modified WhatsApp clones, or Web App scrapers. But are these solutions equal? Certainly not.
See the comparison below:
