Compliant Conversations Pay Off™

At SBT, we don’t just understand the rules, we build our entire platform around them.
Compliance is Complex. Your Messaging Partner Shouldn't Be.
Texting in regulated industries isn’t as simple as hitting “send.” Compliance is non-negotiable, with layers of rules that can feel overwhelming, but with the right partner, it doesn’t have to be complicated.
Telecommunications Regulations
Every business sending text messages must follow federal laws like the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). These regulations set the baseline for what’s permitted—and what can result in costly penalties.
Carrier Use Policies
In addition to federal rules, mobile carriers like T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T enforce their own messaging policies—often stricter than federal regulations. We stay ahead of these evolving standards, so you don’t have to.
Industry Requirements
Regulated sectors like debt collection and healthcare face additional compliance layers, including laws like the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). We help you meet these requirements while maintaining an effective, consumer-first communication strategy.
