Did you just receive a message from a business in your Truecaller app and wondered what was going on? Read on to find out everything you need to know about Truecaller Business Chat and how it adds an extra layer of safety to your communication with businesses.

Who Can Reach Me via Business Chat?

The only businesses that can send you a Business Chat message are businesses verified by Truecaller and have your number. This means that we have confirmed their identity, and they are who they claim to be. The verified mark next to their name is something you might already have seen when receiving a call. The Caller ID picks it up and your screen turns green. Green means the call is verified.

You are in control of the conversation with the businesses.

  • You can choose not to reply to the message
  • You can choose to block the sender

Is Business Chat an SMS?

No it's not an SMS. It's a chat between you and the business. Since it's not an SMS you can still receive a Business Chat even if you have turned off SMS.

What Kind of Messages Can I Expect From Truecaller Business Chat?

The most common case when you would receive a Business Chat is for an OTP (one time password), a service update from the business like a delivery message or a transaction update of recent purchases. You probably share the feeling that these kinds of messages require an extra layer of protection to make sure you can trust the sender; that this message comes from a verified business. 

Only a Business That Has Your Number Can Reach You

At Truecaller, we take your privacy seriously and we keep your data safe. Your business is your business. That means that only a verified business that has your number can reach out to you.
