For Finance apps
Ad review for finance apps on short-form platforms.
Money creative has the tightest trust budget in advertising. We score claim compliance, number specificity, and whether your ad feels like advice from a friend or a pitch from a stranger.
// WHERE_FINANCE_APPS_LEAK
What we see finance apps get wrong in short-form ads.
Returns talk without disclaimers
Implied guaranteed returns are a regulatory problem and a platform-policy problem. Both can end the campaign — or the ad account.
Vague money language
'Save more', 'grow your wealth' — say a number. 'The average user finds $340 in forgotten subscriptions' is a hook; 'take control' is wallpaper.
Screens hidden
Finance viewers want to see the actual app before trusting it with accounts. Ads that hide the UI read as having something to hide.

- 05.Avoid urgency mechanics ('act now') — they read as scam-coded in finance
