As the fintech industry continues to grow, innovative advertising strategies are becoming essential to capture the attention of potential customers and stand out in a cluttered marketplace. Historically, the financial services industry relied heavily on traditional advertising methods, such as TV and print ads. However, the rise of digital has presented an opportunity to reach customers at more meaningful and contextually relevant moments while also better understanding attribution and incremental impact of ad dollars. As a result, these companies are increasingly turning to innovative digital ad strategies that are more likely to capture the attention of their target audience.

The evolving landscape of fintech advertising presents both challenges and opportunities. By using innovative ad strategies and channels, while staying up-to-date on the latest regulations, financial service companies can reach their target audience and build trust with their customers.

 

Leveraging Rokt for fintech innovation

Rokt is at the forefront of revolutionizing digital advertising. Rokt’s platform allows advertisers to reach high quality and highly incremental customers during key moments of the transaction journey on major ecommerce sites. Rokt’s marketplace acts as a trusted intermediary, helping both ecommerce businesses and marketers seize the full potential of every transaction to grow revenue and acquire new customers at scale—from cart to confirmation page. By leveraging Rokt’s technology, brands can reach new customers at the perfect moment—the transaction moment.

 

Build direct relationships with customers through a unique acquisition channel

It’s no secret the digital age has brought information overload. Customers are shown hundreds of ads every day while browsing online. This poses a challenge for financial institutions to compete in the open web for eyeballs at an efficient cost. In the ecommerce environment, contextual relevance for these brands is high–and so is competition. Generally, marketing in this journey is dominated by private label credit cards (PLCC) and buy now pay later (BNPL) relationships, often with exclusivity that blocks other brands from this environment. It can have a negative impact on customer experience, since customers are shown the brand with the biggest checkbook rather than the highest relevance. However, Rokt has changed the game by giving payment providers a way to reach consumers at the point of purchase.

Rokt’s Payment Marketplace offers a valuable opportunity for finserv brands to engage with customers during the transaction. This moment possesses unique advantages for advertisers. At this point, shoppers are in a purchasing mindset, fully focused and engaged. This brand-safe environment leverages first-party transaction data to deliver messages and experiences that deliver results. For finserv brands this means new cardholder acquisitions at scale.
