Fintech Apps: Navigating Advertising Challenges with XMP

What are Fintech Apps？

What are the Pain Points of the Fintech App ？

Strict Review Process on Google Play and iOS

• Google Play

As of April 10, 2025, Google Play expanded its Personal Loans policy, placing credit line and revolving credit apps under stricter regulation. Developers must now self-declare their app type and comply with updated disclosure and data access restrictions. Notably, access to sensitive permissions, like contacts, SMS, photos, location, and call logs—is strictly prohibited unless essential to core functionality.

• Apple App Store

Under Apple’s latest App Store Review Guidelines, financial apps must hold valid licenses and meet local compliance requirements in every region they operate, disclose all sensitive data usage clearly, and strictly follow privacy laws like GDPR and GLBA.

Frequent Changes in Ad Platform Policies

Fintech Apps' Key Advertising Challenges

• Account Suspension and Asset Loss

• Creative Localization Across Regions

Entering multiple markets means facing diverse regulatory environments, languages, and user behaviors. This calls for highly customized creatives and landing pages tailored to each locale, significantly increasing the cost of creative testing and making optimization more difficult.

 

• High Risk of Fraudulent Traffic and Ad Abuse

Fintech advertisers are more vulnerable to click fraud, bot traffic, and other black-hat activities, which can quickly drain ad budgets and weaken campaign performance. This is largely due to the high-value nature of financial services, which makes them a prime target for abuse by fraud networks.

 

XMP Helps Fintech Apps Overcome Barriers, Here's How

 

Faster Recovery from Ad Account Bans

 

With XMP’s Bulk Operation Feature, Fintech advertisers can quickly copy compliant campaigns, such as loan ads with properly disclosed APR and repayment terms, into a new account.

Paired with XMP’s Creative Library, all ad assets remain securely stored on the cloud, ensuring that account bans won’t result in severe asset loss. Advertisers can also create a 'compliance asset folder' to manage approved creatives, making it easy for the team to share compliant materials. This saves a significant amount of manual effort in rebuilding campaigns and helps advertisers resume delivery faster.

 

Efficient Creative Testing and Localization

 

With XMP’s Bulk Campaign Creation feature and preset templates, media buyers can rapidly launch campaigns across multiple regions. No more repeating location, placement, or targeting setup. Advertisers can just assign the creative package to each region and launch them all in one go. This saves tons of time on testing, helps advertisers quickly see what works in each market, and speeds up your creative iteration across regions.

 

For example, advertisers can easily set up campaigns at scale by grouping creatives based on variables like loan terms or how interest rates are displayed.

 

 

One lending platform used XMP to generate 100 ads in bulk, testing four versions of repayment messaging in the U.S. and Japan. Just one week later, they had clear performance data and pinpointed the best-performing creatives for each market, making it easier to double down on localized content that works.

 

Anti-Fraud with Smart Assistant

 

XMP's Smart Assistant provides robust anti-fraud protection by integrating with anti-fraud systems from major ad platforms and SDK networks, monitoring abnormal ad activity, and quickly detecting fraudulent traffic. This reduces wasted spend and ensures your campaigns deliver real results.

 

Additionally, advertisers can find anti-fraud rule templates within XMP to quickly set up protection. For example, if you're running campaigns on Meta and want to guard against ad fraud, you can easily apply XMP’s "Advertisement Security" automation template to establish safeguards in just a few clicks.

 

Smart Assistant will then regularly scan for suspicious activity based on your rules. If any ads match potential fraud patterns, they’ll be automatically paused to prevent further loss, and your media buyer will be instantly notified.

Fintech advertising is complex, but with XMP, staying compliant, scaling globally, and protecting your ad budget becomes much easier. From automation to anti-fraud, XMP helps fintech marketers run smarter, safer, and faster campaigns across every market.
