Official Business Account
An Official Business Account is a WhatsApp status, shown to customers as a badge beside the business name, that Meta grants to notable and authentic brands on request.

It is often called the green tick. Business verification is a prerequisite but does not guarantee it: Meta also assesses whether the brand is notable, using evidence such as press coverage. It changes how the business name is displayed in the chat and unlocks a few capabilities. No platform can obtain it for you.
