Financial Products & Services Advertising Rules

Financial ads can't hide costs, and some financial products need certification before they can run at all.

What it means

Ads for financial products and services can't mislead, and specifically can't omit or obscure charges like interest rates, fees, and penalties. Some financial products (like certain crypto or lending offerings) additionally require Google certification before they're allowed to run.

Why it matters

If a financial-services ad gets disapproved, the two most common reasons are missing/unclear cost disclosures in the ad or landing page, or running without a certification the product category requires. Checking which applies tells you whether the fix is copy or paperwork.
