Transform your WhatsApp into a professional business tool. Catalog, auto-replies, quick messages, and labels - everything to manage loan customers efficiently.
Regular WhatsApp is for personal use. WhatsApp Business is designed for businesses and has features that make customer communication much more professional and efficient.
💡 Key Difference: With WhatsApp Business, customers see your business name, description, catalog of services, and business hours - just like a mini website. It instantly builds trust and saves you from answering basic questions repeatedly.
All these features in the free app
Business name, description, address, email, and website - looks professional to customers.
Showcase all your loan products with details. Customers can browse without asking.
Save and reuse common messages. Reply to FAQs in seconds, not minutes.
Automatic greeting and away messages. Never miss a lead, even at night.
Tag customers as "New Lead", "Documents Pending", "Disbursed" etc. Stay organized.
See how many messages sent, delivered, and read. Track your communication.
Complete setup in 30 minutes
Download "WhatsApp Business" (green icon with "B") from Play Store or App Store. It's different from regular WhatsApp.
💡 Pro Tip: You can use both regular WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business on the same phone with different numbers
Use a dedicated business number (not your personal number). Verify with OTP. You can't transfer existing WhatsApp chats.
💡 Pro Tip: Get a separate SIM card for business. Keeps work and personal life separate.
⚠️ Warning: Once a number is registered on WhatsApp Business, it can't be used on regular WhatsApp
