For financial services

Reach people researching financial products, state by state

Display, native, video and connected TV for banks, insurers, lenders and fintech apps. Every account goes through document and creative review, and nothing runs until it is approved.

What the platform gives you

Built for teams that answer to a compliance review as well as a performance target.

State-level control

Run only where you are licensed to run. Target or exclude by state, city, metro and postcode, with separate budgets per region.

Reviewed before anything runs

We check your licences, your creatives and your landing pages against our ad policy. Campaigns stay paused until they are approved, and approval can be withdrawn if something changes.

Placement control

Allow and block lists by domain, app and category, so your offer shows up next to the content you are comfortable with.

Reporting by region and placement

Impressions, clicks, applications and cost per result, broken out by state, placement and device.

Inventory and formats you can buy

Open exchange supply on web, in-app and connected TV, with placement rules you set.

How buying works

Pick the model that fits the campaign. Your bid is the price, nothing is added afterwards, and you can change any of it while the campaign runs.

Buy on CPM

Pay per thousand impressions. Best for brand, regional launches and connected TV.

Or buy on CPC

Pay per click. Best for application and quote campaigns, where you want to pay for the visit.

One rate, all in

Your bid is what you pay. No separate platform fee and no percentage taken on top at the end of the month.

Or optimise to a target CPA

Set a target cost per application or lead on the line item, with a bid cap, and the bidding works toward it while the campaign runs.

Targeting and controls

Everything is set per line item, and you can change it while the campaign runs.

How approval works

Documents first, then creatives. Nothing delivers until it is approved.

1
Submit your documents

Company details, the products you want to advertise and the licence or registration numbers for every state or market you want to run in.

2
Policy review

We check the offer against our ad policy and the rules of the supply we buy. Prohibited categories are rejected at this stage, whatever the budget.

3
Creative and landing page review

Every creative and landing page is checked for required disclosures, for claims that match the offer, and for pages that match the ad. Anything missing comes back to you with the reason.

4
Approval, then live

Campaigns stay paused until they pass. New creatives, new landing pages or new states go through the same review, and we can pause a live campaign if the page changes after approval.

What we can and cannot run

The short version of our ad policy for this category. The full policy is shared during onboarding.

Accepted with documents

  • Banks, credit unions and card issuers
  • Insurance carriers, brokers and comparison sites
  • Licensed lenders and mortgage providers
  • Regulated investing, wealth and pension products
  • Neobanks, payments and fintech apps
  • Financial education and comparison content

Not accepted

  • Binary options and contracts for difference
  • Credit repair and debt settlement offers
  • Get-rich-quick and guaranteed-return claims
  • Penny stocks and pyramid or referral schemes
  • Unlicensed lending in the state you are targeting
  • Landing pages missing APR, fees or repayment terms

Rules also come from the exchanges and publishers we buy from, so some offers are limited to certain placements even after approval.

Financial services questions

What marketing and compliance teams ask before their first campaign.

Can I run only in the states where I am licensed?

Yes. Target or exclude by state, city, metro and postcode, and set a separate budget for each region. Delivery by state is in reporting.

Who is responsible for compliance?

You are responsible for your licences, your disclosures and the claims you make. We are responsible for enforcing our ad policy: we review the documents, the creatives and the landing pages, and we reject or pause anything that does not meet it. Approval from us is not legal advice and does not transfer your obligations to us.

Do you target people by income or credit status?

No. Targeting is by geography, context, device and your own audiences. We do not build or sell audiences based on financial status.

What do I need to send for approval?

Company details, the licence or registration numbers for the states you want to run in, the creatives, and the landing pages they point to. Missing documents are the most common reason a first campaign is delayed.

Can I use different creatives per state?

Yes. Upload creative sets per state or product and switch them without rebuilding the campaign.
