Loan account statement WhatsApp template

A loan account statement template sends the borrower their statement of account or interest certificate as a PDF. Use it as a Utility template when a borrower asks, each month, or once a year for tax. It saves a branch visit or an email chase.

Hi {{1}}, as requested, the statement for your loan account ending {{2}} for {{3}} is attached. To open the PDF, use {{4}} as the password.

Many lenders protect the PDF with a password such as the first 4 letters of the name plus the birth year. State the rule, never the password itself, if you can.

Why this is Utility, not Marketing

A statement is information about the borrower’s own account, so it’s Utility.

When the borrower asks for it first, you’re inside the 24-hour window and could send the PDF without a template. A template still helps: it keeps the wording consistent and lets you send monthly and yearly statements without waiting for a request.

What makes it MarketingAdding a line about prepaying with a “special rate” or another product. Statements stay plain.

Timing

When to send it

  1. 1
    On requestVersion 1, within minutes.Self-service
  2. 2
    Monthly, fixed dayVersion 2.Optional
  3. 3
    April or May each yearVersion 3, for home and education loans.Tax season

A journey menu with “Get my statement” lets borrowers ask for it themselves, which removes most of these requests from your branches.

Approval

Why loan account statement templates get rejected

No sample PDF

Document-header templates need a sample file when you submit. Use a dummy statement with fake values.

Variable at the start or end

Meta rejects a body that opens or closes with a variable. Every version above starts and ends with fixed words.

Passwords in the message

Sending the PDF and its password together defeats the password. Describe the rule instead.

Promotional words in a Utility template

“Offer”, “exclusive”, “pre-approved” or “limited time” get the template re-categorised as Marketing or rejected.

Send it from SAMWAD

Three ways to put this template to work

No codeCampaign upload

For monthly statements, upload the borrower list with links to each PDF and send version 2 as a campaign.

No codeJourney or Zapier

A journey menu option can collect the request and pass it to your team, or to Zapier, to fetch the PDF.

DevelopersAPI from your system

Your LMS generates the PDF and calls SAMWAD with the file link for the document header.

YARA can take “send my statement” requests at any hour, confirm the period and trigger the PDF through your system’s API on the Advanced plan and above.

Compliance note for lenders

  • Registered number only. Send statements only to the number on the loan record. A request from another number goes to your team.
  • Protect the file. Password-protect statement PDFs and describe the password rule rather than sending the password.
  • Opt-in first. Send only to borrowers who agreed to WhatsApp updates, and record when and where they agreed (loan application, app or branch form).
The sample wording on this page is a starting point, not legal advice. Have your compliance team review it before you submit.Sources: Meta: template categorization

Book a demo
Can we send loan statements as PDFs on WhatsApp?

Yes. Use a template with a document header, or send the PDF in the chat window if the borrower asked in the last 24 hours.

Should the statement be password-protected?

It’s good practice. Describe the password rule in the message rather than sending the password.

Can borrowers ask for a statement themselves?

Yes. Add a “Get my statement” option to a journey menu, or let YARA handle the request.

Is it Utility or Marketing?

Utility. It’s information about the borrower’s own account.
