Trust, Influence, and Growth in Fintech
How founders can work with finfluencers without undermining the most valuable asset they have
Finfluencer marketing is becoming a default growth lever in fintech.
As acquisition costs rise and trust in financial brands weakens, founders are turning to creators to explain complex products and reach skeptical audiences. That instinct makes sense.
But when influence touches saving, investing, or moving money, marketing shapes financial decisions. That is why regulators are paying closer attention, and why many teams are realizing too late that disclosure alone does not solve the problem.
This whitepaper explains how to use finfluencers to build trust, not borrow it.
