The Fraud Draining Your Fintech Ad Budget
Opticks detects all of these — and more — in real time across every traffic source in your campaigns.
Competitor Clicking
Rival fintech companies and comparison sites drain your budget by repeatedly clicking your high-CPC ads. Opticks identifies device fingerprints and IP clusters to stop them.
Bot Traffic on High-CPC Keywords
Sophisticated bots target expensive fintech keywords like “business loan” and “credit card comparison.” At €10–50+ per click, even low volumes cause massive waste.
Fake Lead Submissions
Automated form fillers and click farms submit fake applications that pollute your CRM and waste your sales team’s time on leads that will never convert.
VPN & Proxy Fraud
Fraudsters hide behind residential proxies and VPNs to appear as legitimate fintech prospects. Opticks detects geo-mismatches and proxy signatures in real time.
Device Emulation
Fraudsters use emulated devices to generate thousands of fake impressions and clicks. Opticks identifies device spoofing through advanced fingerprinting.
Retargeting Fraud
Bots pollute your remarketing audiences, causing you to spend even more retargeting non-existent prospects. Opticks verifies session quality and engagement signals.
