42% Better Cost Per Acquisition: How Banking Institutions Maximize TikTok Campaign Performance with Server-Side Tracking

Unlock financial marketing potential on TikTok

Transform your bank's digital marketing strategy with secure, compliant, and high-performance TikTok campaigns using Hardal's server-side tracking. Maximize your marketing ROI while maintaining strict data privacy compliance.

The Challenge

Banks and financial institutions face unique challenges when marketing on platforms like TikTok. Traditional pixel-based tracking fails to capture accurate conversion data due to strict privacy protocols, ad-blockers, and the cookieless environment of banking apps. This results in poor campaign optimization, wasted ad spend, and an inability to measure true ROI on financial service promotions.

Industry-Specific Challenges

• Privacy-first banking apps block most third-party tracking pixels and cookies
• Ad-blockers are widely used by privacy-conscious banking customers
• Multi-session journeys where customers research on TikTok but convert in banking apps days later
• Strict compliance requirements like GDPR, KVKK, and industry-specific regulations
• Complex attribution paths from social media engagement to actual financial product applications

Additionally, financial institutions must balance marketing effectiveness with stringent data privacy requirements, making traditional tracking methods insufficient for the banking industry.

How Hardal Helps

Hardal provides financial institutions with a comprehensive TikTok marketing solution that bridges the gap between social media engagement and actual banking conversions:

• TikTok eAPI Gateway Integration: Implement TikTok's Events API directly on your servers for first-party data collection
• Compliant Data Sharing: Proper PII hashing, sensitive data redaction, and servers in any location to meet regulatory requirements
• Cookie-Independent Tracking: Maintain conversion tracking even in cookie-restricted banking environments
• Enhanced Attribution Accuracy: Track key financial conversions like loan applications, account signups, and app installations
• Privacy-Preserving Performance: Maximize campaign performance through server-side data transmission while protecting user privacy
