That’s why Fintech brands need clear and accessible social media strategies to set themselves up to stand out from the crowd.

What Does Fintech Stand For?

Let’s take a step back. What is Fintech? Essentially, financial technology (shortened to Fintech) refers to any company that uses technology to make financial services faster or more accessible. This means everything from the app you use to invest your extra income, to the ones you use to pay your friends back for dinner, all fall under the umbrella of Fintech.

What Are the 5 Ds of Fintech?

The five Ds of that umbrella, often used to categorize the different purposes of Fintech products, are democratization, decentralization, digitization, disruption, and data. In other words, Fintech companies are taking the things that banks have always done and finding new and exciting ways to make them accessible to you.

In addition to being scary for some, finance talk is often boring. Or at least, finance is discussed in a boring way, and for most, boring is the ideal state for their money. They find something that works for them and never look back.

But these brands are doing something different: by leveraging social media in a clever or engaging way, the Fintech brands we’ll be discussing today have figured out how to make spicing up your financial outlook feel less like a chore and more like a personality trait.

So, now that you have the context, here are the five Fintech brands that are locking in and making the most of their social media presence right now.

5. Cash App

On the spectrum from high production content to lo-fi, UGC videos, Cash App is leaning all the way in on the former. A co-produced video for the newest A24 movie that strapped Timothée Chalamet to the Las Vegas Sphere? They did it. A branded activation with Sabrina Carpenter to give fans an interactive experience based on her latest album? Yeah, that was also Cash App.

They do giveaways, they engage with trending topics, and most importantly, they remain consistent. There’s something to be said for varying your content like the other brands on this list, but by diving headfirst into the look and feel of their socials, Cash App has carved out a space for themselves and the premium Fintech brand to follow.

Even with ideas that are less polished, they still make it a point to take well-known faces you’ve become accustomed to seeing and find a way to incorporate them into entertaining, easily recognizable product content.

4. Revolut

Revolut is an interesting player in the Fintech space because of the varied nature of their product offerings. While some of the other brands on this list offer a straightforward, simpler lineup of benefits, Revolut is involved in everything from financial advice to stock trading and high yield saving opportunities. Additionally, they don’t have the safety net of widespread brand awareness to help spark curiosity amongst potential consumers.

Their strategy? A commitment to product education across owned channels, aimed at both existing and potential customers. With their primary accounts, Revolut uses high production content to emphasize travel benefits and personalization options, the core value propositions that are most easily understood at a glance.

Customizable cards are a consistent part of the feed, along with updates on which regions can use the card and where they are supported. Clear, simple, and consistent content mixes show that Revolut understands the objective: simplify the complex to stop the audience from scrolling.

But Fintech is all about versatility, so Revolut is careful to avoid two-dimensional content. Custom cards with your dog on the front are cute, but that’s just the tip of their product iceberg. That’s where vertical accounts like @revolutbusiness and @revolutapp_us come into play. With parallel voices, Revolut gives subsections of its user base, business power-users and region-specific customers, a place to stay up to date with the specific aspects of the product that matter to them.

3. Venmo

Venmo presents a unique challenge because they’ve reached the level of brand awareness that most Fintech companies will spend their entire budget trying to achieve: Venmo has officially implanted themselves in how an entire generation talks about money. “I’ll Venmo you” has fully replaced “I’ll pay you back” in conversations, even if Venmo isn’t the specific platform where the payment will be happening. What’s impressive, though, is how they continue to cash in (get it?) on their cultural saturation online.

Once everyone already knows what you do, it’s not easy to convince them to keep tabs on you. After all, why should you care what the money payment app is posting? Venmo’s response to that challenge is socially native, timely, and reactive content that reflects the ways the product shows up in everyday life.

With a mix of lo-fi and professionally produced content, Venmo leans into the social aspect of their app in ways that feel natural. Splitting dinner bills, paying your friend back for concert tickets, or dividing costs when the trip finally makes it out of the group chat are common threads across their channels. They also take advantage of their product familiarity with an influencer strategy that centers around spotlighting all the under-discussed features that they have to offer.

2. Chime

Chime, like Venmo, has a leg up on the competition in large part because of their name recognition. When you read that Revolut was number four on this list, you may have needed a minute to double check what exactly they do. But if you watch television, listen to podcasts, or frequent YouTube, chances are you already hear about Chime three to four times a day at minimum.

However, unlike Venmo, Chime’s name recognition is not universally linked to product understanding. That kind of ubiquity can wear on consumers, especially if you don’t make the most of their attention when you have it.

Chime thrives by taking advantage of their different voices to reach all possible follower profiles. Their influencer strategy covers the day to day, using real people to spotlight the ways Chime can fit into daily life. On the flip side, they have no problem leveraging a high profile spokesperson to speak to these topics from a different perspective.

With a recurring series where Chime’s sponsored athletes and artists speak about life issues and learning to manage money, they build onto existing entertainment value by capitalizing on the opportunity to give you a look into the underdiscussed aspects of finance.

Where Chime has room to grow, however, is in their owned UGC and conversational content. Hearing from celebrities is nice, but having a real person speak to your experiences and concerns is even better. Starting recently, they began creating more content that speaks to relevant topics like New Years Eve spending and resolutions for better money management.

With these perspectives on finance, they’re increasing their connection to existing and potential followers by showing that they aren’t just interested in your money, they’re interested in helping you understand it.

1. Bilt

When it comes to Fintech brands on social media, Bilt without a doubt takes the cake. In the last year alone, Bilt has evolved their presence on social media in a major way. Despite the nuances that separate Fintech from other industries, the need for a holistic approach across channels is no different from any other successful brand. At every level, Bilt shows an understanding of not only their existing users, but their potential users as well.

On Instagram, like many of the other brands on this list, Bilt has leaned into polished, professionally produced content. The difference is, instead of reserving this treatment for high profile brand endorsements, they’re flexing their cultural understanding by partnering with both large scale artists and brands, but also with up-and-coming creators.

Bilt popped up at smaller artists’ concerts and gave fans the chance to attend for free, too. They worked with comedians, finance creators, and even reality television personalities to hit every niche and meet their followers on their own terms.

On TikTok, they created a hit with “Roomies,” a digital miniseries with episodes posted to an account separate from Bilt’s main profile. With 119K followers and a second season coming soon, Roomies represents the peak of brand self-awareness. The central reward of Bilt’s card is the points you can earn for using the card to pay rent. Couple this with an audience of young adults working to understand how their money can work for them, and you get a miniseries that reflects all the ups and downs of early adulthood, not just the financial ones.

Additionally, it shows that Bilt understands the larger shift in social media from follower-based creation to discovery-led growth. If you can serialize your best content to keep people coming back to you, it doesn’t matter whether or not they follow you because your content will follow them. Going all in on an actual series is genius, and the public response speaks for itself.

Fintech Brands & Social Media: Final Thoughts

The common thread with all of these brands is that they’ve figured out something that seems obvious but apparently isn’t: people don’t want to follow boring corporate accounts. Even if you’re selling something as seemingly boring as financial services, you can still thrive by showing that you understand your audience’s needs and interests.

You just have to commit to it, understand the platforms you’re using, and be willing to try something new.

The post The Top 5 Fintech Brands Killing It On Social Media Right Now appeared first on NoGood™: Growth Marketing Agency.

A highly intentional marketing strategy, though, can be an effective way to circumvent and address these challenges without risking financial, legal, or reputational penalties. This includes a solid Fintech SEO strategy that builds trust, addresses user needs, and ultimately drives conversions.

At NoGood, we’ve worked with some of the most innovative brands in Fintech, like Merlin, Intuit, and Chime, so we understand the nuances and unique pain points of marketing in a regulated industry. In this blog, we’ll cover some of our top Fintech SEO strategies, driven by our own experiments and results.

Why SEO Matters for Fintech

As mentioned, SEO is a good way to generate visibility for Fintech brands because it helps build brand equity, credibility, and trust.

Let’s let the numbers speak for themselves: organic search accounts for 19.3% of the website traffic Fintech companies receive on average; a solid SEO strategy will likely outperform that, helping you show up at the top of the SERP without paying for expensive PPC ads.

With the rise of AI, having a set organic search strategy becomes even more imperative. Good SEO is the foundation of Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), the practice of optimizing your content so that it gets mentioned and cited in LLMs and AI Overviews.

Something special to keep in mind about Fintech topics is that they typically fall under the Your Money, Your Life (YMYL) category for Google. This type of content is characterized by Google as having the potential to impact the health, financial stability, or safety of people, or the welfare or well-being of society, making H-E-E-A-T (Helpfulness, Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) all the more important.

This means that Fintech companies have to truly commit to publishing website content that is accurate, true, and helpful if they want to rank highly on the SERP.

The key takeaway is this: while bad SEO has the potential to hurt your Fintech brand, good SEO could transform your brand’s visibility and increase conversions.

While high-quality content production is one way to do successful Fintech SEO, you can position your brand as an authoritative source in your niche while building trust and brand recognition with your target customers.

7 Fintech SEO Strategies to Drive Conversions

Now that we’ve discussed why it’s important for Fintech brands to do SEO, let’s dive into some strategies that you can take to create high-quality content for search engines and LLMs.

1. Write High-Quality H-E-E-A-T Content

Fintech brands face serious competition in an overcrowded market, with North America holding over 12,000 Fintech companies alone, which is why creating high-quality, authoritative content is so important.

This type of content helps you communicate to search engines, AI engines, and your target audience that you’re a trustworthy source for financial information. By continuously showing up in finance-related queries with valuable information, you’ll remain top of mind when customers are ready to choose a financial partner to entrust with their earnings.

The key to high-quality SEO content is to follow the H-E-E-A-T framework and ask yourself the following questions:

• Helpfulness: Does the information presented truly answer the user’s query?
• Expertise: Does the content demonstrate that the author has significant knowledge of the subject? 
• Experience: Does the content contain examples of first-hand experiences or knowledge obtained through experience?
• Authority: Does the content demonstrate reliability by citing other reputable sources?

Trustworthiness: Does the content contain information that is reliable and factual?

For all blog content and FAQs, focus on providing direct, clear answers to user questions and pain points. When applicable, you can share examples of how your company approaches certain financial concerns to give customers full transparency and build trust.

For a financial blog in particular, it might be helpful to position your content in a relatable light; instead of a rigid, step-by-step guide with a corporate (therefore potentially condescending) tone of voice, consider positioning the topic in a more conversational light, as if it were a friend speaking to them. This also helps with AEO, as LLMs prefer conversational language that mirrors how people prompt AI.

2. Niche Keyword Research Without Duplicate Content

When creating content on topics like banking and credit cards, it can be difficult to target niche keywords without creating duplicate content.

For example, a Fintech company that offers a variety of savings accounts might create separate pages targeting these keywords:

• “high-yield savings account”
• “best online savings account”
• “savings account with no fees”

The challenge here is that the features and benefits of these accounts, like interest rates, online access, and security features, are largely the same. If the content on each page is only slightly reworded, it could be marked as duplicate by a search engine.

This can lead to keyword cannibalization, where these pages compete against each other for the same or similar search terms, ultimately hurting their ranking performance (both individually and collectively). 

A great way to avoid this is by prioritizing long-tail keywords. They’re usually easier to rank for, and their specificity can help you avoid duplicate content issues by making your blogs more specific. The catch is that when keywords are easier to rank for, they are usually lower search volume, so that’s something you want to keep in mind when you’re doing keyword research.

Here are some ways we’d transform the keywords we just listed that would be difficult to rank for.

• “high-yield savings account” → “how to open a high-yield savings account online”
• “best online savings account” → “best online business savings account”
• “savings account with no fees” → “banks with no savings account fees” 

This is a great approach not only because it helps you avoid keyword cannibalization, but also because it encourages you to build more unique content, helping you stand out from competitors by pushing your content to the top of the SERP and within AI answers.

3. Optimize for Zero-Click Search

Now, many top-of-funnel queries are being satisfied in AI Overviews and LLMs, which is what the industry’s calling the zero-click search phenomenon. The zero-click search phenomenon is when users find their answer directly on the SERP (due to AI Overviews and other SERP features) or LLMs without clicking out to any sites, because the content covers their query and any potential follow up queries comprehensively. 

For Fintech in particular, informational, top-of-funnel content is a safe bet because financial literacy has always been a necessary topic to write for, with about half of Americans being financially illiterate. 

The main goal is this: Positioning your brand as a go-to source for as many searches related to your niche as possible to capture visibility in AI Overviews and LLMs as well as the traditional SERP.

Your first step is to pinpoint which keywords trigger AI Overviews. You can do this in Ahrefs or Semrush by filtering for specific SERP features and selecting “AI Overview” (which all plans can filter for). Make a list of the keywords in your niche with an AI Overview, then focus on creating content to target them.

Keep in mind AI Overviews are extremely dynamic. Search results are always changing, so tools like Ahrefs and Semrush don’t always provide the most up-to-date information about keywords with AI Overviews.

If you do want fresher data, consider using Goodie, which monitors and tracks your brand’s visibility in AI Overviews and other LLMs for prompts that our team custom-builds for your brand.

The other thing to note is that ranking on the first page of the SERP might help you appear in the AI Overview for that query, as 76% of AI Overviews pull from the top 10 results on the SERP. This means prioritizing the strategies we listed here. 

Here are some more strategies you can use to optimize for AI Overviews (and LLMs):

• Use question-based headers that align with user queries.
• Answer user questions directly and concisely underneath each question-based header.
• Format content in lists, tables, and short paragraphs for better machine parsability.
• Enter your keyword into Google, read the AI Overview, and ensure your content answers all of the questions the AI Overview provides information for, as well as any potential follow-up questions users may have 
• Target questions from the People Also Ask SERP feature to differentiate and deepen the scope of your blog topic.

4. Implement a PR Strategy for Top Finance Domains

A key part of ensuring your brand is truly visible is to make sure you’re being mentioned in the right places; this means going beyond the SERP and its features to targeting LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude.

Why is it so important to be mentioned in generative AI answers? Because 62% of Americans interact with AI multiple times a week, with 66% of them have used it for financial advice. That’s also why Goodie put together a list of the most cited domains by AI in Finance. Targeting websites like these has the potential to increase your visibility in AI, but also the traditional SERP, as they are highly trusted names in the industry.

Here’s a breakdown of these domains and why earning mentions from them can boost your visibility as a Fintech company:

1. NerdWallet & Bankrate: These sites are consistently cited by AI models and rank highly in traditional search. They’re high-authority machines as a result of their in-depth, evergreen guides, comparison tools, and calculators for a wide range of financial topics, which are a prime place to get your brand cited in. 
2. Major Media Outlets: Publications like Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and Business Insider are highly influential and trusted in the finance space, boosting your brand sentiment. 
3. User-Generated Content (UGC) Platforms: While this may seem to contradict the need for H-E-E-A-T, platforms like Reddit are frequently cited by AI for conversational content. This highlights the importance of not just being a source of information but also being an active participant in community discussions, which can build a brand presence.

5. Perform Technical SEO

Conducting technical SEO ensures your website is fast, secure, mobile-friendly, and easily crawlable by search engines; all aspects of good technical SEO.

Imagine a customer navigates to your website and is met with a page that takes forever to load, doesn’t have a security certificate that ensures safe transactions and browsing (HTTPS), and the content is misaligned on mobile. Do you think they’d open a bank account or credit card with you?

These optimizations are key in the Fintech industry, where trust, compliance, and user experience (UX) are top priorities.

Here are some strategies to make sure your site is technically optimized:

Improve Website Speed

People visiting fintech websites expect fast-loading websites, and so do crawlers. Delays can not only lead to fewer engaged sessions, but also less visibility in the SERP and AI.

• Use tools like PageSpeed Insights to identify performance issues.
• Compress images and enable browser caching.
• Minimize HTTP requests and reduce unnecessary code.

Implement a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to improve load times globally.

Ensure Mobile Responsiveness

With over 60% of global web traffic coming from mobile devices, Fintech websites need to provide seamless mobile experiences.

• Use responsive design frameworks to ensure your website adapts to all screen sizes.
• Test mobile usability with Bing’s Mobile Friendliness Test tool.
• Consider Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) for faster mobile load times.

Strengthen Website Security

Security is critical for Fintech brands handling sensitive financial data; if your website is not secure, you can kiss a chunk of those engaged sessions and conversions goodbye. Google also prioritizes HTTPS sites in rankings.

• Install an SSL certificate for HTTPS encryption.
• Regularly update software and plugins to prevent vulnerabilities.
• Implement two-factor authentication (2FA) for user accounts.

Implement Schema Markup

Schema helps search engines understand your content better, increasing your chances of ranking highly or appearing in an AI Overview. It also increases your chances of being featured in voice search results.

• Add schema for financial services, customer reviews, FAQs, and events, where applicable.
• Use tools like Google’s Structured Data Markup Helper for implementation.
• Test schema with Google’s Rich Results Test.

6. Perform On-Page Optimizations

On-page optimizations involve improving the readability, UX, and helpfulness of your content. You should already be following H-E-E-A-T guidelines, so this is about formatting content in a way that makes it easier for users and machines to read and understand it. The impact of these changes can not only be felt on the traditional SERP, but also in AI Overviews and LLMs.

Here are some strategies to get you started with on-page optimizations:

Enhance Readability

People are searching for Fintech topics because they want something readable and engaging; if you throw a wall of text at them, they’re definitely not going to stick around.

These strategies also enhance your chances of getting cited in AI Overviews and LLMs, as clear and organized content improves readability for users and helps crawlers understand your page.

• Use short sentences and paragraphs with simple language; remember, the people searching for this information have different levels of knowledge, so make sure you know your audience.
  • Simple Language (B2C/General Audience): Use short sentences and paragraphs with simple, straightforward language when writing for a general consumer audience (B2C) or non-experts. The goal is to quickly explain a concept like “What is a 401k?” in a simple way. 
  • Technical Depth (B2B/Expert Audience): Use precise terminology and complex, in-depth analysis when the audience is highly specialized, such as product documentation aimed at engineers integrating your API, or technical white papers for financial analysts. The goal here is accuracy and completeness for a knowledgeable reader.
• Include visuals like infographics or charts to explain complex concepts. With proper alt text implemented, this gives you a chance to rank in the images feature that shows up on the SERP sometimes. 
• Use a single H1 tag per page with the primary keyword, and incorporate other keywords into H2s, H3s, and H4s throughout page content.

Ensure Interlinking

Internal links help distribute link equity across your site and improve navigation for users. A strong internal linking strategy allows you to gain more visibility in search results by outranking competitors.

• Link relevant blog posts, product pages, or resources within your content.
• Use descriptive anchor text that includes keywords naturally; this means don’t put “Click here” for a blog post. 

External links (also known as outbound links) are links from your site to other websites. Linking strategically to relevant sources is essential for establishing your H-E-E-A-T for search engines and readers.

• Link to recognized experts, official government (.gov), or educational (.edu) sites to back up your claims.
• Only link to outside resources that genuinely support the specific point you are making in your content; don’t just throw links in there to check off a box. 

Add FAQs to Blogs & Landing Pages

FAQs directly address user questions, are often featured in AI Overviews and LLM answers, and are able to be easily read aloud in voice search results. 

This is also a great opportunity to build trust with your customers by showcasing your expertise in the finance industry.

• Pull questions from the People Also Ask section on the SERP and incorporate those into your FAQ.
• Use structured data markup (FAQ schema) to make these questions eligible for AI Overviews and LLM answers. 

Optimize Metadata

Title tags and meta descriptions are how people see your page on Google, and are the first elements users see in search results, directly influencing click-through rates (CTR). Optimizing your title tags and meta descriptions provides an opportunity to persuade users to click your website over one of your Fintech competitors.

• Include primary keywords in title tags and meta descriptions.
• Keep title tags under 60 characters and meta descriptions under 160 characters, otherwise they may be truncated. 
• Make metadata compelling and accurate to the page’s content. Here’s an example of what you should do:

Here’s a weaker example: 

“The SEO Blog for All Things Search” isn’t truncated, but it doesn’t tell us much. The meta description is cut-off, though, which looks sloppy; and is very ironic for an SEO blog.

7. Optimize for Bottom-of-Funnel Topics

Once you’ve started the strategies above to build authority and brand awareness (remember that this is an ongoing effort), you can micro-optimize your landing pages for bottom-of-funnel conversions. This is especially important nowadays, with top-of-funnel content driving fewer impressions and clicks (though still valuable).

We’ll break down how to optimize for these conversions on your landing page.

The first screen of your landing page should have a short, easy-to-read description of your key offerings with a clear call-to-action to sign up or get more information about your product.

Next, you’ll provide information about how your product works, the results customers can achieve by using your product, and why they should choose your product over competitors. Make your descriptions concise, yet informative, and include keywords strategically placed throughout each paragraph.

The most important thing here is to demonstrate a clear value proposition and make sure you’re positioning your brand as the best solution to the customer’s problem. Highlight what makes your product unique.

Additionally, make sure this page is comprehensive. The more questions you can answer for users up front, the more they will place trust in you and consider your brand.

Keep in mind that the user journey doesn’t always end with the main body of your content. To make sure you’ve answered all your readers’ questions (a key way to get cited as a comprehensive source), put an FAQ section at the very bottom of the page, and keep the following in mind:

• Capture Long-Tail Searches: By anticipating follow-up questions related to your Fintech niche, you can integrate relevant keywords and phrases into the H2s and H3s that draw in users looking for specific answers. 
• Build Confidence: Addressing common concerns in a clear Q&A format helps eliminate friction, builds trust, and smoothly guides the user toward conversion.

Measuring SEO Performance for Fintech

Google SERPs are evolving to give users faster answers directly on the page, fundamentally altering how we gather data and measure success.

Despite these changes, measuring your organic search efforts remains critical because it is the clearest way to understand your customers and align your content with their unique, financial challenges; it’s just that it’s gotten harder.

Here are the key shifts that have made data gathering more difficult:

• Rise of Zero-Click Search: More users are getting their answers directly from SERP Features like Featured Snippets, People Also Ask boxes, and AI Overviews, likely decreasing clicks. 
• Data Visibility Changes (removal of num=100): Google has removed the ability to force the SERP to show 100 organic results per page (using the &num=100 URL parameter). This change significantly impacted SEOs, as it makes large-scale data collection for competitor analysis and keyword research more complex and reliant on dedicated third-party tools.

Key Metrics for Tracking SEO Performance

• AI Visibility: To see how often you’re getting mentioned in AI Overviews and LLMs, use a tool like Goodie to keep track of key opportunities for building brand awareness. 
• AI Search Traffic: With so many people using LLMs, you need to be tracking this traffic source. You can track it in GA4, which we explain how to do in our recent blog about changes in the SEO world. 
• Branded Traffic: Branded traffic is when people are navigating to your page through queries that include your brand name. This means that people have probably seen your brand name somewhere (namely, AI) and are Googling it.
• Conversions: GA4 can track form submissions, sign-ups, or purchases. You should then compare your conversion rates to Fintech industry benchmarks.
• Engaged Sessions & Scroll Depth: Longer engaged sessions (and scroll depth) indicate your content is truly helpful for your audience, boosting H-E-E-A-T signals.

Fintech SEO Is a Continuous Process

Now, your optimization efforts shouldn’t just be focused on the SERP; you should also actively be competing for visibility in AI Overviews and LLM answers, otherwise you’re being completely shut out of a quickly growing platform.

The best way to do this is by staying informed about industry trends, regularly analyzing your SEO performance, and proactively adjusting your strategies. Because great SEO is the foundation of AEO, these efforts shouldn’t be overlooked; and if you’ve been neglecting SEO, it’s time to renew your effort in this discipline.

By committing to this strategy proactively, you can maintain a competitive edge and ensure your Fintech brand grows and engages your target audience effectively. If you still need help refining your Fintech Strategy, though, our growth experts can help.

Fintech Marketing Agencies FAQs

Final Thoughts: Top Fintech Marketing Agencies

The bottom line is, choosing a Fintech marketing agency isn’t a decision you should make lightly. The right agency can help you break through in a crowded market, build trust with skeptical consumers, and drive real, measurable growth. The wrong agency can waste your budget, miss compliance requirements, and leave you worse off than when you started (we’ve seen it happen).

Whatever you choose, make sure you’re partnering with an agency that actually understands Fintech; not just an agency that says they do. The difference between someone who gets it and someone who’s faking it becomes painfully obvious about two weeks into the engagement. Do your homework, check their case studies, talk to their references, and make sure they’re the right fit for your brand.

Ready to elevate your Fintech marketing? Contact NoGood today to discuss how our integrated SEO, AEO, and growth marketing strategies can help your Fintech brand stand out in 2026.

The post The 9 Top Fintech Marketing Agencies in 2026 appeared first on NoGood™: Growth Marketing Agency.

But the industry’s environment has shifted. From 2018 to 2021, Fintech rode a venture-backed wave of “growth at all costs.”

In 2026, capital is harder to secure, customer acquisition costs are higher, and regulators demand stricter compliance. At the same time, users expect greater transparency and trust.

In this new era, performance marketing is no longer about chasing rapid acquisition. It’s about balancing precision with compliance, improving unit economics, and building resilience. This guide explores the challenges and opportunities fintech founders face today, and how performance marketing can still power sustainable growth.

Core Challenges Facing Fintech Performance Marketers in 2025

The fintech industry is currently defined by rising ad costs, stricter regulations, and shifting consumer expectations. Businesses must navigate these pressures while still driving sustainable growth, making it critical to understand the core challenges shaping performance marketing.

1. Trust in Algorithms, Not Just Brands

Consumers expect transparency; not only from Fintech brands, but also from the algorithms behind them. In lending and investing, explainable AI is no longer optional. Marketers must go beyond testing value propositions and targeting audiences. They need to clearly communicate how decisions are made, not just what the product offers.

For “Your Money or Your Life” (YMYL) topics, authority hinges on E-E-A-T principles and third-party validation through reviews, press, and accreditations. Reddit reviews, being present on social media (i.e., TikTok or YouTube), and performing AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) to be visible in AI search engines are more important than ever.

2. Ad Cost Inflation

Customer acquisition costs (CAC) in Fintech have skyrocketed, reaching up to 40% YoY growth in some B2C channels. Google Search CPCs for financial keywords often exceed $3.44, making them among the most expensive in digital marketing.

Without a hybrid acquisition strategy that blends organic (SEO, content, partnerships) with paid media, margins can quickly collapse.

3. Regulatory Tightening

Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) and embedded finance have blurred the lines between software and banking, pushing regulators to enforce bank-level compliance on startups. As a result, RegTech solutions like Alloy or ComplyAdvantage have shifted from nice-to-have to mission-critical.

For marketers, this means compliance is no longer an operational afterthought, but a growth lever. Frictionless KYC and onboarding processes can directly improve conversion rates, while tools like consent mode and advanced verification protocols maintain security and build user trust.

4. Globalization & Localization

Fintech growth increasingly depends on cross-border payments and localized solutions. But scaling globally requires hyper-localized marketing strategies that adapt to regional compliance frameworks; GDPR in the EU, RBI regulations in India, CFPB oversight in the U.S. Balancing global ambitions with local compliance and cultural nuance is now a core marketing challenge.

Case Study: Wise

Wise scales globally by localizing both its product and marketing for each market. In Europe, the focus is on low-cost SEPA transfers; in India, campaigns emphasize compliance with RBI regulations and UPI integrations; in the U.S., Wise highlights speed and transparency of cross-border payments. This hyper-local approach enables Wise to operate compliantly across 160+ countries while maintaining a consistent global brand identity.

Growth Opportunities for Fintech Performance Marketing in 2025

While challenges are significant, they also open the door to smarter, more efficient strategies. From diversifying acquisition channels to leveraging AI and focusing on retention, fintech startups can unlock new opportunities to scale sustainably and stand out in a crowded market.

1. Smarter Acquisition Mix

Fintech marketers are diversifying beyond paid search and social by layering in partnerships, affiliate programs, and embedded distribution. Embedding products into payroll apps, ride-sharing platforms, or digital wallets creates organic exposure at scale. Tools like Impact.com and PartnerStack streamline partner management, while strong SEO and AEO ensure visibility in AI search.

2. Creative & Messaging Experimentation

The most effective campaigns lean into trust-driven creative. Marketers are using stat-led messaging, verified testimonials, and UGC to establish credibility. Short-form video on TikTok or YouTube Shorts drives top-of-funnel discovery, while long-form content builds depth. Platforms like Smartly.io or Motion help analyze and scale creative variations efficiently.

Case Study: Wise on TikTok

Wise leverages UGC and short-form video on TikTok to humanize cross-border payments. By encouraging creators to showcase real-life money transfers and travel scenarios, Wise lowers CAC compared to traditional paid search while strengthening brand trust among younger audiences.

3. AI & Automation in Marketing Ops

AI is being applied across the funnel to enhance efficiency and personalization. Braze and Iterable power personalized onboarding and lifecycle messaging, while Amplitude and Mixpanel provide predictive churn insights.

Conversational AI through Intercom or Salesloft reduces friction in KYC flows. Pairing AI bidding with offline conversion tracking ensures campaigns optimize for high-value users, not just cheap CPCs.

4. Retention as a Growth Engine

With CAC rising, LTV is the metric that matters. Fintech companies are investing in loyalty programs, referral incentives, and personalized cross-sell offers. Tools like Tremendous automate referral rewards, while Klaviyo and Braze enable lifecycle campaigns tied to user behavior.

Tracking LTV:CAC by cohort (aiming for ≥3:1 within 12–18 months) keeps retention tied directly to profitability.

Case Study: Revolut

Revolut drives retention by building an ecosystem of sticky features that keep users engaged beyond core banking. Daily transaction notifications, budgeting tools, cashback offers, and premium tier upgrades encourage consistent use. 

By layering in lifestyle features like travel insurance and crypto trading, Revolut increases LTV while reducing churn, turning retention into its most powerful growth lever.

5. Data-Driven Experimentation

Leading Fintech companies run continuous test-and-learn cycles. Multivariate landing page testing with Optimizely or VWO, rapid creative iteration with Pencil, and privacy-safe tracking via server-side GTM or Segment + BigQuery pipelines make experimentation scalable.

Dedicating 10–15% of media spend as a test budget ensures constant innovation while managing risk.

Case Study: Ramp

Ramp scales efficiently by using experimentation to optimize every stage of the funnel. From A/B testing landing page flows to tracking feature adoption in real time, Ramp treats growth as a series of measurable experiments.

By integrating product analytics with marketing spend, Ramp proves ROI on each channel before scaling, ensuring campaigns improve unit economics rather than just driving volume.

Metrics That Matter in 2026

Growth without measurement is guesswork. To scale effectively, fintech companies need to track the right performance metrics, those that capture acquisition efficiency, retention, and profitability, to ensure every campaign improves unit economics and long-term growth.

1. Blended CAC

Paid-only CAC is misleading in a world of multi-touch journeys. Track blended CAC (paid + organic + partner channels) to understand true acquisition efficiency. Benchmarks vary, but Fintechs should aim for CAC payback within 12 months.

2. LTV:CAC Ratio

Lifetime Value relative to CAC is the north star for Fintech economics. A healthy ≥3:1 ratio signals scalable growth, while anything below 2:1 suggests acquisition is outpacing retention or monetization.

3. Payback Period

How quickly you recover CAC through customer revenue. Shorter cycles (≤12 months) create more runway to reinvest in growth; longer cycles can choke cash flow when capital is tight.

4. KYC Drop-Off Rate

KYC drop-off rate is one of Fintech’s most overlooked metrics. Complex verification processes can kill conversion rates. Track where users abandon onboarding and invest in smoother KYC with RegTech integrations to improve funnel efficiency.

5. Compliance Approval Cycle Time

Regulatory reviews for ads and campaigns often delay launches. Monitoring approval timelines helps marketing teams forecast go-to-market more accurately and push for process improvements with compliance teams.

6. Engagement & Retention Metrics

Acquisition only matters if users stick. Monitor:

• DAU/MAU ratio (daily to monthly active users) for stickiness
• Churn by cohort to see if specific segments are dropping faster
• Feature adoption rates (e.g., % of users activating auto-pay, savings, or investment features) to identify upsell opportunities

Strategies for Fintech Companies to Scale Marketing Fast

With limited budgets and rising competition, fintech startups need proven tactics to grow quickly without burning their runway. By setting compliance guardrails early, testing continuously, and leveraging the right martech stack, teams can speed up acquisition while staying compliant and efficient.

Here are battle-tested shortcuts that help Fintech startups accelerate growth without burning runway.

1. Set Compliance Guardrails Early

Don’t wait for Legal to slow you down; build pre-approved creative templates (claims, disclaimers, disclosures) so campaigns can launch in days, not weeks.

2. Define Unit Economics Before Scaling

Know your CAC, LTV, and payback targets before turning up the spend. If a channel doesn’t hit your LTV:CAC threshold, cut it fast, because time is your scarcest resource.

3. Build a Test-and-Learn Roadmap

Allocate 10–15% of your budget to experiments every month. Fail fast, but document everything so that the learnings compound. A shared testing hub across teams turns small wins into scalable strategies.

4. Choose the Right MarTech Stack

Your stack should work as a growth engine, not a patchwork.

5. Automate Early Wins

• Sync CRM and ad platforms with offline conversion tracking to train algorithms on profitable users.
• Use dynamic creative optimization (DCO) to generate and test hundreds of ad variants at once.
• Automate referral payouts to keep viral loops frictionless.

6. Go “Embedded” Where Your Users Already Are

Partnership distribution (integrating into payroll apps, eCommerce checkouts, or mobility platforms) compounds faster than trying to win every user 1:1 through ads.

7. Treat Retention Like Acquisition

Shift part of your ad budget into lifecycle campaigns. Push personalized upsells, reminders, and rewards through lifecycle marketing tools because every retained user is a cheaper, faster path to growth than chasing a new one.

Conclusion

Fintech startups in 2025 are operating in one of the most challenging, but also most rewarding, environments yet. Rising CAC, stricter regulations, and user demands for transparency have raised the bar. But these same pressures are forcing smarter strategies, stronger creative, and more disciplined growth systems.

Performance marketing is no longer just about acquiring users fast; it’s about building trust, resilience, and efficiency into every campaign. The Fintechs that win will be the ones that:

• Diversify acquisition beyond ads alone.
• Embed compliance and transparency into their funnels.
• Leverage AI and automation to scale intelligently.
• Treat retention as a growth engine, not an afterthought.
• Continuously test, learn, and optimize with data.

The playbook has changed, but the opportunity is massive. For Fintech founders, performance marketing remains the growth engine; it’s just tuned for a smarter, more sustainable era.

App Marketing Agencies: FAQs

The post The 13 Best App Marketing Agencies in the Game appeared first on NoGood™: Growth Marketing Agency.

If the fintech industry is fully digital, the million-dollar question becomes this: how do you create a marketing strategy for something intangible and inspire consumer trust in catering to their financial well-being? 

Think about your paycheck for a minute. You’ve probably meticulously divided it between rent, utilities, groceries, and more. Now imagine handing your paycheck to a faceless someone on the other side of a screen that you’ll never meet in person. Sounds like a hard “no,” right? Now, think of going down to your local bank and handing that money off to an actual bank teller you’ve known for years. It’s almost relieving in comparison to using a digital financial service. 

Trust is a huge barrier potential customers face when deciding whether or not to utilize fintech services, as money can be an extremely vulnerable subject. This leaves it up to advertising campaigns to win the public’s favour. How? By curating familiarity in an educating and engaging way within your target audience, you can build trust in your brand and become the name that springs to mind when they think of a financial product. Ready to make your brand stand out? Let’s get into it! 

Best Fintech Marketing Campaigns

Whether you’re a payment processing service, involved with cryptocurrency, or part of traditional banks switching to digital, there’s a fintech content marketing strategy for you. Comedy, inspiration, and pop culture are all your friends when spinning the story you’ll present to your audiences to familiarize them with both the fintech sector and your product and/or service.

Not sure how to get started? Here’s a breakdown of our favorite fintech marketing campaigns that are brimming with inspiration! 

1. Binance/Cristiano Ronaldo

When you think of an NFT, a couple of things likely come to mind – weirdly distorted images of animals or monotone men named Chad or Kyle in Patagonia vests, to name a few. Sounds… less than exciting, right? Binance wants to change that. Collaborating with football legend Christiano Ronaldo, they found a way to make NFTs not only relevant but interesting through influencer marketing.

The campaign opens with the words, “We all have a great story to tell,” setting the tone for something inspiring. The image of a luxurious museum crafted from polished marble welcomes Ronaldo into a room of fantastic, awe-inspiring sculptures, where, with a single kick, he transforms the space into a cyber wonderland. By utilizing a well-known symbol of power (Ronaldo himself), Binance was able to sway public opinion on NFTs in a 60-second ad spot. 

2. Wealthsimple/Medusa

It doesn’t matter how old we get; we’ll be the first to admit it: filing your taxes can be nothing short of agony. Finding the pain point that customers faced, Wealthsimple created a genius campaign by marketing the unknown with the familiar – and a sprinkle of comedy. Everyone knows the story of Medusa, and her famous reptilian locks are easily recognizable.

By introducing Medusa as the main character casually listing her dependents, Wealthsimple shows its audience how painless tax season can be. If a mythological character can do it, it shouldn’t be all Greek to you! 

3. Cash App/Kendrick Lamar and Ray Dalio

Investing can be ridiculously difficult, but Kendrick Lamar wants to help you understand. The plain message behind this fantastic ad is that investing isn’t rocket science and that Cash App makes it easy for anyone to invest – regardless of whether you’re opening a local barbershop or if you’re a Wall Street mogul.

The simplicity of this campaign really sells us on the idea as well; a bare white balcony setup with a simple zoom-out sets up the vision well, and the lack of music allows viewers to really focus on what’s being said. Minimalism tells us all we need to know, and whether or not we have Ray Dalio’s experience in investing, we’ll get the gist with Cash App’s fintech app services. 

4. Acorns/Invest Like A Squirrel

Woodland puppets in suits? Something tells us Wes Anderson would love this Acorns campaign. In a buried headquarters for investing, Acorns puts the spotlight on a squirrel that breaks down how investing is a lot like… well, acorns.

If you’re patient enough to put it away for a while, you’ll find a tree grown in its place. Same with investing – and a great way to simplify a somewhat complicated topic for those interested in investing but unsure where to start. The Fantastic Mr. Fox aesthetic of this ad is not only incredibly unique and engaging but also very in tune with the brand name and voice, giving viewers something memorable to hold onto. 

5. Klarna/4 Tiny Cowboys

KLARNA FOUR QUARTER SIZED COWBOYS from Andreas Nilsson on Vimeo.

There’s so much to love about this Klarna campaign. The western theme, the comedy, and most importantly, lots of Maya Rudolph – no really, lots. There’s 4 of her, and that’s just the right amount to showcase exactly what Klarna offers. When faced with an online purchase, each tiny cowboy Maya puts in a payment to complete the whole purchase in installments over time, driving home Klarna’s “buy now, pay later” service.

We’re obsessed with the actual format of the campaign, though – there are plenty of payment installation services available, but this campaign (among others produced by Klarna) stands out, because Klarna is known for their whimsical, eccentric advertising.

This short film-esque campaign is extremely on-brand for them because aside from helping customers buy what they like without paying in full at once, Klarna can also be relied upon to entertain. 

Bringing the Customer to You

Now it’s your turn to attract potential clients to your fintech service. Don’t panic; it’s a lot easier than you might think! Here are a couple of core elements of success to keep in mind when brainstorming digital marketing strategies for your financial solutions.

Entertainment Value

In a world overly saturated with content everywhere – video, static, or otherwise – it’s difficult to show up on people’s screens and more difficult to stay without getting scrolled past. With social media marketing, your brand must pique consumer interest with its ad campaigns to avoid being pushed aside.

The previous examples showcased entertainment value in the forms of puppetry, celebrity appearances, humor, and cinematography, which are all great hooks to draw in attention. When in doubt, think storytelling first, selling second. The educational content (spearheaded by your expert insight within the industry) will fall into place once you establish that! 

Clear Product/Service Offering

Fintech marketing strategies can be tricky to craft because when you whip out terms like “financial technologies,” “financial institution,” or anything in relation to the fintech sector, it can be pretty anxiety-inducing for a person looking to get started on tackling their financial situation when they can’t speak your language.

The examples we shared really excelled in providing clarity around each brand’s services and serve as a reminder to those looking to start their own digital marketing campaigns. Make it crystal clear as to what you offer people (or just hire Kendrick Lamar to do it for you). 

Emotional Connection

A crucial approach to marketing efforts is connecting with your customers. Emotional connection removes the barrier between brand and client and creates the highly sought-after effect of community. When audiences become part of a brand community, that brand benefits enormously from their investment (no pun intended).

Companies can expect to see greater customer loyalty and engagement as their products and/or services become intertwined with their community members’ lives, driving business growth through user-generated content and word of mouth on the customers’ end. The most valuable content resonates deeply with your audience and keeps them close to you. 

Recognizability

Marketing messages mean very little if there’s room to doubt who they’re from. Social platforms are buzzing with fintech businesses fighting to boost their online presence, but a smart marketing team knows the best campaigns are the ones internet users can point out by brand name without the ad having to say it.

When building your marketing plan, it’s important to factor in things like brand mascots and/or characters, colors, and (most importantly) voice. Once these elements are established, your audience will know what to expect from you, making your brand instantly recognizable (like Klarna’s stylistic short films or Acorns’ anthropomorphic squirrel puppets). 

Getting Started 

With a plethora of inspiration for fintech marketing tactics, you’re well equipped to be on your way towards sharing your fintech app, cutting-edge technologies, or other such innovative solutions to people’s day-to-day financial needs.
