Lower CAC.
Lift Activation.
Own Growth.

Most fintech brands spend heavily on acquisition and then lose users at onboarding. Your app store ranking is invisible when it matters. Compliance constraints kill creative velocity. We fix all of it: compliant paid media, ASO, trust-first content, and lifecycle marketing built for financial services.

What We Do

Every part of the problem. One team.

Compliant paid media, ASO, SEO, product marketing, lifecycle CRM, and brand trust. We don't hand you off to specialists. We run it all.

Growth Console

Acquisition tracking, compliance workflow, app store analytics, lifecycle CRM, content attribution, and LTV reporting, built as one platform for fintech, not bolted together from five tools.

Acquisition Tracking
CAC, CPA, payback period
Compliance Workflow
Ad approvals, disclaimer mgmt
LTV Analytics
Payback period, churn, ARPU

Compliant Paid Media

Google UAC, Meta, TikTok and programmatic campaigns built for regulated financial services. Every creative is pre-cleared for FCA, DFSA, and RBI requirements so your ads never get pulled mid-flight.

App Store Optimisation

Keyword research, metadata optimisation, screenshot A/B testing, and review management for iOS and Android, so your app ranks for high-intent fintech searches and converts the browse-to-install gap.

SEO & Trust Content

Comparison pages, feature explainers, regulatory guides, and thought leadership that rank for high-intent fintech searches and build the trust signals that convert sceptical financial services buyers.

Product Marketing & Lifecycle

Onboarding email sequences, push notification strategy, in-app messaging, win-back campaigns, and upgrade triggers, built around your activation funnel to turn installs into activated, revenue-generating users within the first 7 days.

Brand & Trust Building

PR placements, review generation on app stores and Trustpilot, thought leadership content, and social proof that reduce the trust gap fintech brands face with first-time users of financial services.

User Lifecycle

We own every stage of the user journey.

01 · Discover

Found in Search & App Store

SEO, Google UAC, and App Store Optimisation. Your app and landing pages appear at the top when someone searches for a neobank, payment app, or lending platform.

02 · Sign Up

Trust Converts the Install

App store ratings, review responses, trust badges, and social proof remove the hesitation that kills fintech sign-up rates, especially for first-time users of financial services.

03 · Activate

KYC Complete, First Transaction

Onboarding email flows, in-app push nudges, and KYC completion sequences drive users from install to activated status. That's the single most important metric in fintech economics.

04 · Upgrade

Premium Tier & ARPU Growth

Lifecycle campaigns timed to usage milestones, in-app upsell triggers, and premium feature messaging that move users to higher-value plans and grow ARPU.

05 · Refer

Referral & Viral Growth Loops

Referral programme design, incentive mechanics, and viral loop optimisation that turn activated users into acquisition channels, reducing paid CAC with every successful referral.

Proprietary Software

Growth Console. One platform. Every layer of your acquisition funnel.

Most fintech brands manage growth across six different dashboards: an Appsflyer account, a Meta Ads Manager, a compliance spreadsheet, an App Store Connect portal, a CRM, and a Looker Studio report nobody reads. The data doesn't talk to each other. CAC is guessed. Activation is a mystery. We built one platform that connects all of it.

Fintech Verticals

Every vertical. One partner.

01

Neobanks & Digital Banking

Challenger banks and digital-first banking apps competing for primary account relationships. Account opening volume, KYC completion rate, and first-transaction activation are the core metrics. Most brands can't connect them to acquisition spend.

ASO Activation flows Trust content
02

Payments & Transfers

P2P transfer apps, cross-border remittance platforms, and payment gateways where transaction volume and churn are everything. Competing against incumbents requires aggressive CAC discipline and strong social proof.

Comparison SEO Paid acquisition Reviews
03

Lending & BNPL

Personal loan platforms, buy-now-pay-later providers, and credit scoring apps where compliance kills creative speed. High-intent search traffic from comparison sites is worth ten times the average display click.

Compliant ads Comparison SEO Trust content
04

Wealth & Investment

Robo-advisors, retail investment apps, and crypto platforms. The audience is sceptical and high-value. Long-form trust content, SEO, and risk-disclosure-compliant advertising are the acquisition levers that actually work.

Thought leadership SEO Compliant ads
05

Insurtech & Insurance

Digital insurance platforms, embedded insurance providers, and insurtechs. Search intent is high but conversion is killed by complexity and trust gaps. Simplification content, social proof, and comparison SEO are what move the numbers.

Simplification content Reviews Comparison SEO
06

B2B Fintech & Infrastructure

API providers, payment infrastructure, banking-as-a-service, and regtech platforms. Sales cycles are long. Reaching decision-makers in regulated institutions requires thought leadership, demand generation, and account-based marketing working together.

Problems We Fix

The six reasons fintech brands bleed CAC.

01

Compliance Kills Speed

Financial services ads get rejected, paused, or shadow-banned daily. Legal review cycles slow creative velocity to a crawl. Most fintech brands ship 3 ad variants a month, when performance requires 30. Every day of compliance delay is CAC climbing.

We pre-clear every creative through a compliance workflow before it goes live. Growth Console tracks regulatory status per ad unit, so nothing publishes without approval. Creative velocity typically triples within 60 days.

02

High CAC, Low Activation

The industry average fintech activation rate is below 40%. Most brands spend heavily to acquire installs, then watch 60% of users ghost after download. The CAC is paid in full. The revenue is never collected. Payback periods stretch to 18+ months.

We cover the full funnel from install to activated account. Onboarding email flows, KYC nudge sequences, and in-app messaging are mapped to your specific drop-off points, lifting activation above 70% within 90 days.

03

App Store Invisibility

Over 60% of app installs come from App Store search. If your fintech app isn't ranking for "neobank UAE, " "money transfer app, " or "personal loan India, " you're invisible to the highest-intent acquisition channel available. Most brands treat ASO as an afterthought.

We run continuous ASO: keyword research, metadata testing, screenshot A/B testing, and review management. Your app stays visible for the searches that drive the highest-intent, lowest-CAC installs in your category.

04

Trust Deficit at Scale

Asking someone to trust your app with their money is different from selling them a t-shirt. A single bad review can cost a fintech brand hundreds of installs per week. Most brands have no systematic trust-building programme, and it shows in their conversion rates.

We run a continuous review generation and response programme across App Store, Google Play, and Trustpilot, combined with PR placements, trust badges, and media mentions that build credibility before the first install.

05

Fragmented Attribution

A user sees a Meta ad, searches "best neobank UAE" on Google, reads a comparison article, checks App Store reviews, then opens an account three days later. Most fintech brands attribute 100% of that acquisition to the last Google click and cut everything else.

Growth Console maps the full acquisition path: paid touch, organic search, ASO, and review influence. You can allocate budget to the channels that actually drive activated accounts, not just the last click before sign-up.

06

Lifecycle Abandonment

Most fintech brands have a one-time communication model. Welcome email, KYC reminder, maybe a feature announcement. There's no structured lifecycle, no upgrade trigger, no referral prompt, no win-back sequence for users who transacted once and went quiet.

We build the full lifecycle CRM: onboarding, activation, upgrade, referral, and win-back. Mapped to your product's usage milestones and triggered by real behaviour, not calendar dates. ARPU typically grows 38% in the first 6 months.

Case Study Deep-Dive

Dubai Payments App, From AED 210 CAC to AED 38 in 8 Months

A Dubai-based P2P payments app was spending heavily on Meta and Google UAC but paying AED 210 per acquired account. Only 31% of those accounts completed KYC and made a first transaction. Monthly ad spend was AED 340,000. Monthly activated accounts: 504. Every activated user was costing more than the business recovered in the first year of LTV.

We launched Growth Console across their full acquisition stack, rebuilt their ASO from scratch, rearchitected the onboarding email and push sequence to target the 7-day KYC drop-off, and introduced a systematic App Store review programme. Eight months later, the unit economics had changed completely.

FAQ

Fintech marketing,
answered directly.

Compliant growth, CAC reduction, and building a fintech brand that converts.

Every ad creative goes through our compliance workflow before publishing. It's a pre-clearance process mapped to the specific regulator for your market: FCA in the UK, DFSA/CBUAE in the UAE, RBI/SEBI in India. Growth Console tracks regulatory status per ad unit, flags expiring disclaimers, and keeps a creative approval log for audit purposes. You can ship at high velocity without the 48-hour legal review cycle that slows most fintech marketing teams to a crawl.
Most clients see meaningful CAC movement within 60-90 days. The fastest wins come from ASO improvements (organic install uplift in 4-6 weeks), activation sequence work (typically 15-25 percentage point improvement in the first month), and compliance workflow (which unlocks creative volume that was previously throttled). Full unit economics improvement, the kind that shows up in payback period, typically takes 4-6 months.
Both. For early-stage brands (pre-PMF or Series A), we build the growth infrastructure first: compliance workflows, ASO foundations, onboarding sequences, and attribution, before scaling paid acquisition. For growth-stage brands (Series B+), we usually come in to fix a CAC problem or lift an activation rate that's capping growth. The FORGE™ phase model adapts to where you are, not where we'd prefer you to be.
Yes. We manage ASO across both platforms as a single programme, but the keyword strategies, metadata structures, and A/B testing approaches are distinct because the Apple App Store and Google Play algorithms work differently. Growth Console tracks rank movement, install conversion rate, and review velocity across both platforms in one view, so nothing falls through the gaps.
We start with a drop-off audit: mapping exactly where users exit your onboarding funnel and at which hour post-install. From there we build a sequenced communication programme, typically a 7-day email and push notification flow timed to your specific KYC steps, with messaging based on where each user stopped. We also work with your product team on in-app nudge placement if the data shows in-app friction is the primary cause rather than communication gaps.
Appsflyer and Adjust are measurement tools. They tell you where installs came from. Growth Console is a management platform that combines acquisition data, compliance workflow, ASO tracking, lifecycle CRM visibility, and LTV reporting in one place. The difference is that Growth Console is action-oriented, not report-oriented. You can see CAC by channel, trigger a compliance check on a live ad, and view the onboarding funnel drop-off all in the same session. We use Appsflyer and Adjust as data sources inside Growth Console, not instead of it.
