Introduction
Not long ago, most NBFCs depended on SMS, calls, and emails to connect with customers. But in today’s digital world, those channels feel slow and outdated. People want quick, simple, and familiar ways to interact, and WhatsApp has naturally become that bridge.
For NBFCs in India, WhatsApp is no longer just a personal messaging app. It’s now a powerful tool for managing loans, sending reminders, answering queries, and even sharing offers.
By adding automation to this mix, lenders can engage customers faster, at a lower cost, and without straining their teams.
VimanoTech is at the forefront of this shift, helping NBFCs weave intelligent WhatsApp workflows directly into their operations.
Why WhatsApp Stands Out for NBFCs
There’s a reason WhatsApp is redefining communication for lenders:
-
It’s everywhere, more than 500 million Indians use it every day.
-
Messages get noticed, open rates cross 90%, far ahead of SMS or email.
-
Conversations happen in real time, customers can ask a question, upload a KYC document, or clear a doubt in minutes.
Where WhatsApp Automation Helps the Most
