In finance, trust comes before features. The right face makes a new app or product feel safe to try.
Payments, lending, investing and insurance apps ask customers to share money and personal data, so the first job of marketing is reassurance. Familiar, credible faces lower that barrier.
Fintech also faces closer advertising scrutiny than most categories, so talent selection and scripting have to work within sector rules and the talent's own comfort with financial products.

Compliance to plan for
