How do you handle ad platform restrictions?

We verify accounts properly, understand each platform's financial services policy, and build creative that clears review first time. When disapprovals happen we handle appeals directly.

Our sales cycle is long — how do you measure?

Offline conversion imports from your CRM with value assignment, so platforms optimize toward the outcome that makes money even when it lands 60 days after the click.

What we see

What holds fintech companies back

The same four constraints show up in nearly every fintech & financial services engagement we start.

Marketing and finance report different numbers

Platforms double-count conversions and browser tracking misses a third of events. Both teams use real data and reach incompatible conclusions.

Compliance-heavy funnels kill conversion

KYC requirements, disclosures, and long application forms are necessary — and brutal for completion rates unless they're designed carefully.

You're optimizing the wrong event

Application starts are easy to buy. Funded accounts are what make money. Most fintech ad accounts are optimized to the former.

Ad platform policy restrictions

Financial services face heavy ad restrictions. Account bans and disapprovals stall growth for weeks if you don't know the rules cold.

Our playbook

What we do differently for fintech companies

Track the money event

Server-side conversion imports tied to funded accounts or first transaction — not form fills. It's the single highest-impact fix we make in fintech.

Progressive application design

Multi-step forms with saved progress and clear expectation-setting. One client lifted completion 128% without removing a single compliance field.

Compliance-aware creative workflow

Every asset moves through your compliance queue with required disclosures templated in, so approvals take days rather than weeks.

Unit-economics reporting

Cost per funded account and payback period, in one dashboard both marketing and finance work from.
