How to Initiate Chat To Trade?
We all know that WhatsApp is today the most common and widely used messaging app people use to chat with family and friends. The app is permanently on in everyone’s smartphone, and has changed the way and frequency with which people communicate with each other. Now, Kotak Securities has launched “Chat to trade” for its customers that simplifies trading as easy as chatting. It is the first broking firm in the BFSI sector to accept trades from customers on WhatsApp & Telegram messaging apps.
Customers can place trade in equity and derivatives segment in the live market via dealer. They can start trading via Chat to Trade by sending a WhatsApp or Telegram message on 7738 988 888 from their registered mobile number. A once-in-lifetime authentication is required, which is done by bots without any human intervention. Authentication process is a two-step process, where the customer has to answer three out of our standard eight security questions followed by generation of login access code. The authenticated chat is then handed over by the system to their respective dealers.
Further, existing customers can also request for fund transfer, margin requirement, portfolio value, and other service related queries.
Chats transcripts are recorded and stored in pdf format, thereby making it un-editable and ensuring complete transparency.
