Powerful web apps and services for your business success

Omnichannel messaging and eCommerce marketing automation platform

Rakuten Viber, a pioneer in secure global messaging solutions and a leading super app in Europe, today launches new security solutions to further protect communication on the platform. Now businesses can authenticate users to enhance trust and reduce fraud.Verification messages provide a secure and seamless way to authenticate clients through one-time passwords (OTPs). Businesses can use ready-made templates, which are designed to increase conversions, to send OTPs easily and save time. Rakuten Viber offers lower costs than SMS and allows businesses to set a time limit for delivery. The messages are encrypted, and the sender is marked with a blue tick to indicate a verified business, adding an extra layer of trust. When users receive a Viber verification message, they can quickly copy the PIN code using a ‘copy’ button in the chat. Push notifications also feature a 'copy' button, allowing users to copy codes without even opening the chat.SecurePlus messages add an extra layer of security by checking the recipient’s number to confirm it’s not flagged for potential fraudulent activity. Private and sensitive information, such as transaction details and bank statements, is only delivered once Rakuten Viber has verified the recipient in real-time. Originally developed for Eurobank, one of Europe’s leading banks, this solution is now available globally to meet the growing demand for <a href="https://www.forbusiness.viber.com/en/blog/post/how-brands-can-find-the-most-secure-messaging-app-for-business-use/">advanced security</a> from companies handling sensitive customer information.&nbsp;New solutions help businesses increase trust and meet rising consumer expectations, as<a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/1332294/trustworthiness-transparency-in-marketing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> 60% of online customers</a> now prioritize security and transparency in communications with businesses.
