FinGuard App Eliminated 98% of Predatory Financial Ads

Challenge

A US-based neo-bank was targeted by sophisticated “get rich quick” scammers and fraudulent crypto-ad campaigns. Existing AI filters couldn’t distinguish legitimate fintech offers from predatory phishing schemes, risking massive SEC/FTC regulatory fines and a total erosion of user confidence.

Solution

AnnotationBox deployed a specialized financial compliance team to conduct real-time audits of ad copy and landing pages. We implemented a multi-factor verification process, ensuring that all creatives adhered to the US Truth-in-Lending Act (TILA) and internal brand-safety protocols.

Result

Predatory ad presence plummeted by 98%, and user-reported fraud incidents fell by 75%. This “Institutional-Grade” security environment enabled FinGuard to secure a strategic partnership with a national US bank to expand FDIC-insured service offerings.

Bottom Line Impact

$4.2 Million

Estimated savings in potential regulatory fines.

Enabled

24/7 compliance auditing for all ad submissions.

Benefits

Achieved “Gold Standard” trust rating among users.
