RCS OTP & transactional messages

Send branded, verified OTPs, order confirmations, payment receipts and account alerts — with SMS fallback for devices that don't support RCS.

What are RCS transactional messages?

Transactional messages are triggered by a customer action or existing relationship — OTPs, order confirmations, payment receipts and account alerts — sent from a verified business sender, separate from promotional messaging.

Security-relevant, but the action happens on your site, not in the message.

A boundary we never cross

Legitimate OTP and verification messages are for the customer to enter into your app or website — never to reply back through the message. We never design flows that ask a customer to share an OTP, PIN, password or CVV in reply, and you shouldn't either. This single rule protects your customers from the most common messaging-based fraud pattern.

Common categories

What counts as transactional

OTP & verification

Login codes, account activation, transaction verification.

Order & payment

Order confirmation, payment receipt, shipping updates.

Booking & appointment

Confirmations, reminders and status updates.

Account alerts

Login notifications, service status, security alerts.

Why RCS for this

Branded matters more when it's security-relevant

An unknown sender ID asking for a code looks like phishing. A verified name and badge looks legitimate.

Verified sender

Your name and badge, not an anonymous number.

SMS fallback

Reach is preserved where RCS isn't available, where configured.

Clear, structured

Easy to scan in the moment a customer needs the information.
