Marketing for banks, built around your compliance team.
Social, content, SEO, GEO and PR for banks, Islamic banks, insurers, exchange houses and fintechs in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and the GCC.
What does Marca offer banks and financial institutions?
Marca is a UAE-based marketing and communications agency where AI agent teams run day-to-day marketing and senior people set the direction and approve everything that goes public. For banks, your compliance team is a named approver, and agents work only from the product material your team has approved.
Why is marketing harder for banks?
Every product claim, rate and offer must be accurate, clear and fair. Every post can become a complaint. Approvals pass through marketing, product, compliance, legal and sometimes a Sharia board. Most agencies treat those steps as delays. Marca treats them as part of the design.
Banks in the region also answer to national banking regulators in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, whose rules shape how products can be marketed. Your compliance team sets those rules. We build them into the work.
What can Marca do for a bank or financial institution?
- Social media management and moderation with strict escalation for complaints and account questions.
- Product and campaign content for cards, accounts, mortgages, wealth and SME banking, with the required disclosures built in.
- Financial education content: savings, budgeting, fraud awareness and digital banking how-tos.
- Islamic banking content prepared for review by your Sharia supervisory board.
- SEO and GEO so your products appear correctly when people search, or ask AI assistants questions such as "best savings account in the UAE".
- PR and results communications: product launches, partnerships, ESG and annual results coverage.
- Executive thought leadership: LinkedIn and podcast-style video for CEOs and senior leaders.
- Launch campaigns for apps, digital banks and new products.
How does Marca keep financial content compliant?
- Your approved product material. Agents draft from the product sheets and terms your team approves. Compliance checks every rate, fee and claim.
- Compliance as an approval step. Your compliance reviewer is a named approver in the workflow. Content can't be scheduled without their sign-off.
- Disclosure checks. Agents check every draft for the disclaimers and terms your compliance team requires.
- No auto-replies on accounts. Agents don't discuss a customer's account. They route account questions to your official support channels using approved wording.
- Complaint escalation. Complaints are flagged to your team within the time agreed in your scope.
- No customer data. We don't need or request customer data. See Trust.
Example use cases
1. Launching a new credit card
A bank launches a cashback card. Marca builds the campaign idea and runs the shoot. Agents produce bilingual social posts, video cut-downs and landing-page copy from the approved product sheet, each carrying the required disclosures. Compliance approves the assets in one batch. After launch, agents track the questions coming in and draft new FAQ answers for approval.
2. Fraud awareness all year round
A bank wants steady fraud-awareness content, not a one-off campaign. Agents monitor new scam patterns reported in the region and draft short educational posts and videos. The bank's fraud and compliance teams approve them, and the content runs on a weekly schedule.
3. Being the answer in AI search
A digital bank wants to appear when people ask AI assistants about opening an account in the UAE. Marca audits the current AI answers, fixes the gaps on the bank's own pages with clear, structured content, and tracks citations across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot each month.
