Convert more with RCS
Display your brand in every conversation
Don’t send texts from a 10-digit set of numbers, but from your brand. With RCS, your brand’s logo and contact will automatically show within text conversations, boosting trust and brand identification.
In today’s landscape, trust can be a huge barrier to engagement, as SMS impersonation is a growing problem for businesses. Say goodbye to “is this real?” replies with RCS. A verified-sender RCS message with your logo and contact card dramatically reduces skepticism and lifts engagement.
RCS auto-populates the sender field, putting your brand front and center with a full contact card, including verified brand name, logo, brand colors, and verified badge.
With your RCS business profile, recipients can click on your contact to see more information, click to your website, get support, find your business address and email, and more.
For your leads and prospects, trust and message authenticity matter just as much as the message content. RCS boosts your brand recognition and consumer trust from the first message sent.
Greater security through encryption
RCS is safer than traditional SMS for business communication, providing better security with partial or end-to-end encryption.
Combining encryption with verified sender identification, RCS reduces spam and increases deliverability.
Verse’s RCS messages are TLS-encrypted in transit. Verse provides enterprise-grade security for RCS messages, with full compliance and visibility into deliverability.
RCS is available through most carriers and relies on internet connection. At Verse, we fall back to SMS via your 10DLC number if RCS is not available for the recipient, ensuring continuous flow in conversations.
