Sinch, a global leader in digital customer communications, has announced a strategic partnership with Authvia, the innovator behind the patented TXT2PAY technology and a pioneer in conversational commerce. The collaboration aims to transform how businesses engage with customers by integrating secure, real-time payment capabilities directly into messaging platforms such as SMS, RCS, and WhatsApp.
By embedding Sinch’s omnichannel messaging API into Authvia’s payment technology, the partnership allows businesses to shift from static notifications to dynamic, transaction-ready conversations. Consumers will now be able to complete actions such as payments, confirmations, or subscriptions—all without leaving the message thread.
Sinch will serve as Authvia’s default messaging provider, with an emphasis on RCS (Rich Communication Services), a key channel poised to redefine consumer engagement. Together, the companies are positioning SMS and messaging as the next frontier in digital commerce, enabling rich, branded experiences that include embedded media, secure links, and identity verification.
“This partnership allows us to meet customers where they are, with seamless communication and now, seamless transactions,” said Michael Ricci, Head of Business Development at Sinch. “By embedding Authvia’s payment capabilities into our messaging channels, we’re unlocking a powerful new dimension of real-time customer interaction.”
Elevating Messaging from Alerts to Action
With this integration, businesses can simplify and secure mobile payments, driving operational efficiency and customer satisfaction across use cases, from paying co-pays and service invoices to reordering subscriptions or confirming deliveries.
Key benefits include:
- Global reach and reliability through Sinch’s enterprise-grade messaging infrastructure
- Frictionless, app-free transactions enabled by Authvia’s patented TXT2PAY® technology
- Support for 250+ payment processors and digital wallets, including Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Fiserv, Worldpay, and more
- Turnkey deployment for high-growth sectors such as healthcare, financial services, retail, logistics, and subscription commerce
“What excites me about this partnership is Sinch’s global market leadership and their commitment to advancing RCS adoption,” said Chris Brunner, Founder and CEO of Authvia. “Together, we’re enabling enterprises to drive meaningful engagement, build trust, and conduct commerce directly within messaging channels.”
Redefining Digital Engagement
This partnership reflects Sinch’s broader vision of evolving digital communication into real-time, outcome-driven conversations. From flight changes to financial transactions, messaging becomes not just a tool for information, but a channel for action.
By combining secure, scalable payment infrastructure with enterprise-grade messaging, Sinch and Authvia are enabling a new standard in mobile-first commerce, one where communication and transaction go hand in hand.
