The challenge

PayFlow was launching into a crowded payments category against apps with venture funding an order of magnitude larger. Bidding on the obvious head terms would have burned the entire budget in weeks at a cost per install that could never pay back.

There was also an attribution problem: nobody could tell which channel was producing installs that turned into funded accounts, as opposed to installs that opened once and never returned.

What we did

The Approach

Four workstreams, run in the order that let each one de-risk the next.

Long-tail acquisition strategy

We ignored the head terms entirely and built out specific problem-led queries where intent was high and competition thin — smaller volumes, far better economics.

Trust-led creative

Short-form video addressing the security question directly, because in fintech the objection is never features. Produced in-house and cut for each platform.

Funded-account attribution

Server-side event tracking through to funded account, so optimisation targeted the outcome that mattered rather than raw installs.

Staged budget scaling

Spend increased only once a channel held its cost per funded account for two consecutive weeks — deliberately unexciting, consistently profitable.

The result

What Changed

Optimising against funded accounts rather than installs changed the picture immediately: the channel producing the cheapest installs turned out to be the most expensive source of actual customers, and was cut in week three.

By month six PayFlow was scaling spend monthly with a stable cost per funded account — the position every launch campaign is aiming for and comparatively few reach.

Outstanding service quality and professional approach. Our ROI increased by 300% within 6 months of working with Parwaz Digital.
