Why KSA Corporate Leads Choose Qalaama WhatsApp Authentication

Fully aligned with SAMA cybersecurity controls and Saudi PDPL regulations, our platform delivers end-to-end encrypted authentication codes with a first-attempt success rate exceeding 99%. With built-in automatic SMS fallback, you guarantee users receive their verification codes within seconds.

Questions we hear most.
WhatsApp offers higher delivery speeds (sub-2-seconds), avoids network congestion, and supports "Copy Code" interactive buttons. It is also end-to-end encrypted, and in many countries, conversation-based authentication fees are more cost-effective than international SMS rates.
If the WhatsApp OTP remains undelivered or unread within a timeout window (e.g. 30 seconds), our gateway automatically routes the OTP code via our direct carrier links to STC, Mobily, or Zain as a standard SMS.
Yes. Qalaama's system supports TLS 1.3 encryption, maintains detailed transmission logs, and stores verification audit data in our Riyadh cloud, aligning with SAMA's cybersecurity guidelines.
Meta requires authentication templates to contain only the passcode and copy-code buttons. Promotional content, images, and links are strictly prohibited in this template category to ensure safety.
When the OTP arrives, a button labeled "Copy Code" appears directly in the WhatsApp message. Tapping it copies the verification code to the user's clipboard, making it easy to paste into your app.
