The green tick — Meta's Official Business Account badge — builds trust with customers on WhatsApp. Here's who qualifies, how verification works, and how to apply through ECODrIx Connect.
The green tick (Official Business Account) is only available to businesses on the official WhatsApp Business Cloud API, not the free WhatsApp Business app. Onboard your number through ECODrIx Connect first.
Verify your business in Meta Business Manager with valid documents (business registration, GST, website, and contact details). Verification is a prerequisite for the green tick.
Meta grants the green tick based on brand notability — coverage in reputable news outlets and third-party sources, not paid ads or press releases. Strengthen your public presence before applying.
From your WhatsApp Business Account, submit the green-tick (OBA) request. A provider can submit it on your behalf, but the decision is entirely Meta's.
Send consented, relevant, well-formatted messages so your number keeps a high quality rating. Low quality or spam complaints hurt both your limits and your green-tick chances.
The green tick is Meta's Official Business Account (OBA) badge shown next to a business name in WhatsApp. It signals that Meta has confirmed the account belongs to a notable, authentic brand.
WhatsApp historically used a green badge for Official Business Accounts; Meta has been aligning verification badges across its apps (blue). Either way, it's the 'Official Business Account' status granted by Meta based on notability.
You must be on the official WhatsApp Business API, complete Meta Business verification, and demonstrate brand notability (independent, reputable third-party coverage). Meta makes the final decision.
No provider can guarantee it. ECODrIx Connect helps you onboard to the official API and submit the request, but approval is solely Meta's decision based on their notability criteria.
No. You can send templates, broadcasts, and run a shared inbox on the official API without the green tick. The badge adds trust but is not required to operate.
