SMS in Financial Services

Kaur Virunurm - 5 MIN READ - 10 Mar 2014

SMS messaging is a powerful mobile communication tool that allows financial service institutions to interact with their customers in a cost-effective, timely way.

Global messaging volumes in the financial service industry will continue to grow and its estimated that it will be more than 1.6 trillion in 2015.

The most popular ways how financial institutions use SMS messaging:

The SMS has the unique advantage of reach. The vast majority of handsets support SMS, whereas less than half support mobile Web and even fewer support mobile applications. This mix may change over time as advanced handsets become more widely available, but text messaging is and will continue to be the most used feature of a smartphone.

Keep texting!

Have you met 1oT? Mobile data connectivity for IoT companies.

Last week, Lauri wrote a good piece about keeping things real, because businesses have simple business models at their core. As one of our values, simplicity has led Messente to build a reliable and powerful SMS API and user authentication API for businesses and brands to communicate with their customers globally.

While we pride ourselves in doing global A2P SMS and 2FA very well, one of our sister companies, 1oT, uses a similar methodology of simplicity to do global internet of things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) connectivity really well.

A note on keeping things real

17 Apr 2018

Over the years, I've had the good fortune of talking to and doing business with many entrepreneurs and CEOs from a variety of industries. Some are first-time founders of small startups, while others are amazingly experienced serial entrepreneurs. Many of them are extremely successful in what they do.

So naturally, while listening to them talk about their businesses, I've always tried to spot any fundamental takeaways –the small drops of universal business advice distilled from those hundreds of conversations.

And it seems to me that a lot of the most profound business truths seem to point to a direction that I would call, "keeping it real.”

10 Apr 2018

Over the last few months we’ve been setting the direction of our Omnichannel messaging API and our development team has started working on it. Considering transparency, we wanted to share the progress we’ve made on the API and give our clients something to look forward to, as well as helping clients prepare their systems for the next generation of our A2P messaging API.
