The WhatsApp messages insurers, brokers and financial services firms send, and what each costs
Meta prices each message by its category. US rates shown, effective 1 October 2026; every country's rate is on the pricing pages.
| Message | Meta category | Sent by | Per message (US) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Policy renewal reminder | Utility | Your policy system, through webhook or API | $0.0034 |
| Payment due, received or failed | Utility | Your billing system, through webhook or API | $0.0034 |
| One-time password for login or approval | Authentication | Your app, through Mywa's API | $0.0034 |
| New product or cross-sell offer | Marketing | Campaign to opted-in customers | $0.025 |
| Answers about policies and claims | Service (free reply window) | Your team, in the shared inbox | Free for 1,000/month, then $0.0034 |
Meta decides a template's category when it reviews it; a message written as an update but containing an offer is billed as marketing.
Three WhatsApp workflows for a financial services team
- 1
Renewals that don't lapse
Your policy system tells Mywa 30 and 7 days before renewal; the customer gets a reminder with a link, and replies go to their adviser.
- 2
Payment notices
Due, received and failed-payment notices go out automatically from your billing system.
- 3
Codes on WhatsApp
Send login and approval codes as authentication templates from your app through Mywa's API.
A real monthly bill, by where your customers are
A firm sending 3,000 renewal and payment notices, 2,000 one-time passwords, a 2,000-message offer and 2,000 replies a month, at Meta's rates effective 1 October 2026, with 1,000 free replies.

Before local taxes; Mywa on the monthly plan. The last column is Meta's charges plus a $0.005 provider fee on each message sent (Twilio's listed fee), for comparison.
Messaging customers the right way
Meta's policies keep WhatsApp useful for customers, and following them keeps your number healthy:
- 1
Financial products are regulated. check what your regulator allows on messaging apps, and keep records your rules require.
- 2
Meta's Commerce Policy restricts some financial products, such as certain loans and crypto offers.
- 3
Never ask for full card numbers, passwords or PINs in chat; use Mywa's role-based access so only the right staff see customer chats.
- 4
Get opt-in before sending marketing, and make opting out easy: Mywa handles opt-out replies for you.
Frequently asked questions
Meta's authentication rate for the customer's country: $0.0034 in the US, effective 1 October 2026. See every country on the WhatsApp OTP pricing page.
A reminder about the customer's own policy renewing is utility. A reminder that pushes a new or upgraded product is reviewed as marketing.
That depends on your regulator, your market and what you send. Mywa doesn't make compliance claims for your firm; check with your compliance team before you start.
