The Future of Fintech Marketing: Why Video Is Essential for Growth

May 10, 2025

Let’s talk about something that’s very real in the fintech space right now: it’s crowded, it’s competitive, and everyone is racing to stand out.

So how do you grab attention, build trust, and turn browsers into believers?
Video. High-quality, intentional, story-driven video.

We’re not talking about generic product walkthroughs or those “talking head” explainer videos from 2014. We’re talking about content that makes people stop mid-scroll, lean in, and say,
“Wait… who is this brand?”

Whether you’re in payments, crypto, banking, insurtech, or lending, video is no longer optional. It’s the core of any fintech marketing strategy that’s actually built for scale.

Let’s break down why.

1. Fintech Is Complex. Video Makes It Click.

Let’s face it, most fintech products aren’t super intuitive from the jump. APIs, embedded finance, compliance? It’s a lot. But guess what helps turn all that complexity into clarity?

Video.

With motion graphics, dynamic explainers, and real-world scenarios, you can take something abstract and make it digestible in under 60 seconds.

Pro tip

If your users don’t understand what you do in under a minute, they’ll move on. Video doesn’t just simplify. It clarifies your value instantly.

Why it matters:

  • Short-form explainers increase user understanding by 74%
  • Videos boost landing page conversion rates by up to 86%
  • People retain 95% of a message when they watch it, versus just 10% when reading it

If you're not using video to simplify your message, you’re missing the chance to connect with your audience where it counts: understanding and trust.

2. Trust Is Currency. Video Builds It Faster.

In fintech, trust is everything.You’re not just selling a product. You’re asking people to share financial data, make transactions, or manage their money. That’s big.

Pro tip

People trust people. Put real faces, real voices, and real stories front and center. That’s how fintech brands become relatable, not robotic.

And what builds trust faster than any blog or static ad ever could?
A face. A voice. A story.

Testimonial videos, founder-led intros, behind-the-scenes team clips.
These kinds of videos humanize your brand in ways that static content never will.

Quick tip: Show your team. Show your users. Show what you stand for. The goal is to make your fintech brand feel less like a platform and more like a partner.

3. Everyone’s on Video. If You’re Not, You’re Invisible.

Scroll through LinkedIn, TikTok, or Instagram and what do you see?
Video. Video. More video.

Whether it’s bite-sized explainers, thought-leader clips, or promo reels, fintech brands are doubling down on video content because that’s what audiences engage with.

Stats worth noting:

  • Social video generates 1200% more shares than text and image content combined
  • LinkedIn video ads get 30% more engagement
  • 84% of people say they’ve been convinced to buy a product after watching a brand’s video

In other words, video content is your brand’s growth engine. Don’t skip it.

Pro tip

It’s not about going viral. It’s about showing up consistently with content that engages where your audience already lives.

4. The Competition Is Fierce. Your Production Quality Needs to Match.

Let’s be real, DIY video isn’t cutting it anymore. If you’re serious about customer acquisition and retention, your content can’t just look okay, it has to look premium.

Because here’s what your audience is thinking, even if they don’t say it:
“If your brand looks cheap, I assume your product feels cheap.”

Harsh? Maybe. But true. Especially in fintech, where perception and credibility go hand in hand.

Investing in high-quality video content shows that you’re established, detail-oriented, and trustworthy. That’s what moves someone from “just browsing” to “let’s sign up.”

5. Video Content Fuels Every Stage of Your Funnel

This is the part no one talks about enough: one great video can fuel content for weeks.

  • Top of funnel: Brand story video
  • Middle of funnel: Testimonials and product demos
  • Bottom of funnel: Personalized walkthroughs or client success stories
  • Retention: E-learning, support videos, insider updates
Pro tip

A single video shoot can fuel an entire campaign, if you plan smart. Think full-funnel before you hit “record.”

And the best part? It’s not one-and-done. Repurpose it into email campaigns, social reels, onboarding flows, and more.

Smart video is the most versatile tool in your fintech marketing strategy.
