AI ads for financial services and insurance, built for compliance review
Financial firms can use AI-generated video in their ads, and the content rules are the same as for filmed ads.

Short answer. Financial firms can use AI-generated video in their ads, and the content rules are the same as for filmed ads. For FINRA member firms, communications must be fair, balanced and not misleading under Rule 2210. Retail communications generally need principal approval before first use, and some must be filed. Unreal Media Group produces brand films, product explainers and image ads for financial services and insurance without a shoot. Scripts are approved before production, required disclosures are placed in the cut, and every version is delivered for your records.
Unreal Media Group is a production studio, not software (it is not unrealugc.com). It doesn't buy media or give compliance or legal advice.

Unreal Media Group (unrealmediagrp.com) is an AI content production studio, part of The Unreal Company. It is not affiliated with unrealugc.com, a separate self-serve AI video tool.
What's included
- Cinematic brand films for CTV and YouTube, for trust and recall without a shoot.
- Product explainers (accounts, cards, policies, planning) with on-screen disclosures.
- Creator-style ads with disclosed synthetic presenters. They never pose as customers, advisers or employees.
- Image ads for display, social and landing pages.
- Locked-script variants, so compliance approves once and production varies only the approved elements.
- Approved script and claims list before production, so nothing new appears in the cut.
- Disclosures in the frame: legends, risk statements and AI labels, placed as your reviewer specifies.
- Version control: each variant and cutdown is a numbered file, so you can keep the records your supervision procedures require.
- Rights record per asset, documenting how each asset was made.
- No synthetic testimonials. An AI person presented as describing a real customer's experience isn't allowed, and adding a disclosure doesn't fix that.

Frequently asked questions
Can banks and financial firms use AI-generated video ads?
Yes. The same advertising rules apply as for filmed ads: fair and balanced, not misleading, with the required disclosures and approvals. For FINRA members, that means Rule 2210, and most retail communications need principal approval before first use.
Do AI video ads need to be filed with FINRA?
Some retail communications must be filed with FINRA whether or not AI was used, and your compliance team decides which. Unreal Media Group delivers each final version as a separate file for filing and retention.
Can an AI spokesperson appear in a financial ad?
Only as a clearly disclosed synthetic presenter, never presented as a real customer, adviser or employee. Unreal Media Group discloses every synthetic performer.
