Real results across finance apps

"If finance marketers aren’t evolving their strategies to meet users in new environments, they’re not just missing reach—they’re missing relevance. This is why it is so important for us to have our ad strategies reflect where users actually spend their time."

Greg Rossi
Consumer Services

"Moloco proved that they could optimize for ROAS like the big walled gardens. After passing revenue in our MMP postbacks, we ran a test comparing ROAS campaigns optimized to trade commissions against our in-app event campaigns. We saw double-digit gains in D7 revenue and profit, so we leaned in and raised budgets."

Marketing Department

"We were impressed by the consistent uplift Moloco brought to our acquisition campaigns. The incremental impact was clearly visible in every test, making it easy to justify significant budget increases."

Marcus Letsch
Head of Growth Marketing

"Moloco was a strategic partner that not only delivered efficient CPI, but also drove post-install conversion performance, fueling tangible growth for our app. By leveraging premium inventory and implementing day-based budget optimization strategies, we achieved both cost stability and strong performance growth."

Soondo Hong
Marketing Lead

"Moloco's ability to deliver precise targeting and optimize our ad campaigns through machine learning has been key to driving scalable growth and improving ROAS."

FAQ

Where does Moloco show my ads?

Moloco runs your campaigns across a vetted ecosystem of mobile apps. This is designed to offer strong content standards and privacy protections across categories – such as mobile gaming, fintech, commerce, social, short-form video, food delivery, crypto, prediction markets, and generative AI – where people are actively using their phones, not just scrolling past. We buy this in-app inventory programmatically in real time so you reach consumers while they’re checking balances, comparing products, or making purchases.

What are the advantages of in-app advertising?

In-app advertising lets you reach people when they’re leaned in and engaged: in full-screen, high-attention environments that are well suited to complex financial decisions. Most importantly for finance marketers, you can tie performance to real business outcomes — installs, KYC completion, funded accounts, card activations, first deposits, and repeat transactions — rather than just impressions or clicks.

What sort of campaign objectives does Moloco support?

Moloco can optimize to a wide range of app and business outcomes: new installs, sign-ups, and KYC completion; first deposits or funded accounts; card activations; specific in-app events; and revenue-based goals like CPA or ROAS. Many finance customers also run re-engagement campaigns with Moloco to reactivate dormant users, encourage additional product usage, or drive repeat transactions using the
same platform and data.

What does 'optimize for funded accounts' actually mean?

Some UA platforms optimize for installs or registrations because those are quick events their algorithms can measure. We optimize for the milestones that matter to your business: first deposits, initial transactions, account funding, sustained activity. Moloco’s CARA (Compound Ad Recommendation Architecture) analyzes the full user journey to understand what predicts conversion for your specific product.

What are Moloco’s data and security policies?

We take data and security seriously. Please see our Trust Center and Security and Compliance pages for more details.

How do you handle data privacy and regulations like GDPR or CCPA?

Moloco’s platform is designed to support customers’ compliance efforts with applicable privacy laws, including GDPR and CCPA.
