Fintech Marketing to Gen Z, Through the Creators They Trust
Fintech marketing to Gen Z has two jobs: earn trust, and stay compliant. Gaming creators reach a huge share of young adults at the age they open their first accounts, and they're trusted voices, while the review step lets your compliance team sign off on every video.

“Show how you split a bill with friends in the app. Read the disclaimer at the end.”
Who you reach
Newzoo's research finds that 86–88% of Gen Z play video games, which makes gaming creators one of the widest ways to reach that generation. They're ordinary young adults: getting their first job, paying rent, splitting bills and choosing which bank or payment app to trust.
Those choices tend to stick. The app someone picks at 20 is often the one they still use at 30.

Why creator recommendations work
Finance is a trust decision, and young people trust people more than brands. A creator showing how they actually use an app, and answering questions in the comments, does more than a banner ever could. The best videos are practical and everyday.
| Product | Everyday moment |
|---|---|
| Neobank or card | Getting paid, spending, seeing it all in one place |
| Payment app | Splitting dinner or rent with friends |
| Savings and investing | Putting money aside for something they want |
| Crypto exchange or wallet | Explaining how they started, in plain words |

Compliance
Financial promotions often need exact wording. Put required disclaimers in the brief word for word, along with claims creators must not make. Every video waits for your approval before it counts, so your compliance team sees it before you pay for it.
- Disclaimers, verbatim, and where they must appear
- Banned claims: returns, guarantees, comparisons
- Countries where you're licensed to operate
- Age requirements for the product
Choosing countries
Most financial products are licensed country by country. Limit the campaign to creators in your licensed countries, and check each video's audience countries before approving it.
Tip
If your product is licensed in only a few countries, say so in the brief's first line. Creators elsewhere will skip it, which is what you want.
Short-form or long-form video?
Financial products often need more than a minute. A long-form YouTube video lets the creator walk through opening an account, show the app and read the full disclaimer without rushing. Short-form video works for one everyday moment, like splitting a bill or hitting a savings goal, and points viewers to the longer explanation.
Run a series, not one video
Few people open a bank account after one video. Trust in a financial product builds when the same creator shows it more than once: paying for something, then saving with it, then explaining a feature. Consider briefing the same creators across a short series rather than a single post.
| Video | Purpose |
|---|---|
| First | Show the product in an everyday payment |
| Second | Answer the questions viewers asked in the comments |
| Third | Show a feature that builds a habit, like saving |
Common mistakes
Financial campaigns carry more risk, and most of it is avoidable.
- Leaving disclaimers to the creator's memory instead of the brief
- Running in countries where the product isn't licensed
- Letting creators quote returns, rates or rewards from memory
- Approving videos without compliance seeing them first
How much to budget
In the example, $10,000 at $6 per 1,000 views buys up to about 1.67 million verified views, with a $1,000 cap. Financial products usually pay higher rates than consumer goods, because a funded account is worth more and the brief asks more of creators: precise wording and a mandatory disclaimer.
How to measure sign-ups
Give each creator a referral link or code. Verified views tell you the reach; your own funnel tells you sign-ups and funded accounts per creator. Payment apps should also read the apps guide.
