Digital banking in Armenia has undergone rapid development in recent years. Mobile applications have become the primary tool, online payments are now part of everyday life, and customer expectations are higher than ever.

Today, customers expect not only secure and fast banking services, but also simple, intuitive, and instant communication. This is where messaging platforms, particularly Viber, are becoming a strategic tool for financial institutions.

At the same time, Dexatel provides a unified API and a single platform, allowing businesses, through one integration, to access not only Viber but also WhatsApp, SMS, Telegram, and many other communication channels without the need for separate technical integrations.

The Bank in the Customer’s Smartphone

Customers prefer receiving information quickly, visually, and without unnecessary steps.

For financial institutions, this means one thing: communication must happen where the customer already is.

While SMS used to be the primary notification channel, banks today can move toward more interactive and practical communication formats.

Carousel Messages

Carousel messages allow multiple cards to be placed within a single message, each including:

●    Image
●    Title
●    Short description
●    Call-to-action (CTA) button

Banking Use Cases

Loan offers

●    Pre-approved consumer loans
●    Special mortgage conditions
●    Cashback cards

Each offer is presented as a separate card with buttons such as “Apply Now” or “Learn More.”

Deposits and investment products

●    Deposits with different terms
●    Interest rate comparisons
●    Investment packages

This changes the logic of marketing communication: one message → multiple choices → fast transition to action.

List Messages

List messages allow multiple options to be presented in a structured menu format, which is especially important for service processes.

Use Cases in Armenia

Self-service menu

●    Check balance
●    Download statement
●    Block a card
●    Contact support

Branch or service selection

●    Choose city
●    Book an appointment
●    Select service type

List messages reduce waiting times, ease call center workload, and significantly improve customer experience.

Transaction Notifications and One-Time Passwords (OTP)

Security is the foundation of digital banking.

OTP codes, transaction alerts, and login confirmations must be:

●    Fast
●    Reliable
●    Sent from a verified source
●    Protected against fraud

These types of messages provide banks with several advantages:

●    Verified and branded business accounts
●    Reliable message delivery to customers
●    Secure and protected data transmission

Integrations implemented through Dexatel also enable fallback mechanisms (for example, backup delivery via SMS, WhatsApp, or Telegram), ensuring guaranteed message delivery.

From Communication to Revenue

For modern banks, communication is no longer just an operational tool.

It can become:

●    A sales channel
●    A customer service tool
●    A trust-building mechanism
●    A cost optimization solution

Carousel and list messages increase engagement and drive sales, while transactional messaging ensures a secure and seamless customer experience.
