Every Indian business that wants to promote loans, credit cards, insurance, mutual funds, stock broking, NBFC services, digital lending, payment products, or any other regulated financial service through Google Ads must first clear the G2 Financial Services Verification. Without this mandatory approval, Google will not allow financial services ads to run in India. This in-depth guide explains the entire G2 verification process, eligibility categories, required documents, India-specific details such as CIN and RBI/SEBI licences, step-by-step application instructions, and the typical 24-hour approval timeline.

What Is G2 Financial Services Verification?

G2 Financial Services Verification is the mandatory third-party verification programme operated on behalf of Google by G2. It confirms that an Indian advertiser promoting financial products or services through Google Ads is either (a) properly licensed and registered with the relevant Indian regulator — such as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI), or the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) — or (b) legally exempted from holding such a licence, or (c) a non–financial-services business applying under policy requirements.

Only after both the G2 support team and the Google support team approve the application can the advertiser run financial services ads on Google Search, YouTube, Display, and the wider Google network in India.

Who Needs G2 Verification in India?

G2 Financial Services Verification is required for every Indian advertiser promoting the following categories through Google Ads:

  • Personal loans, home loans, business loans, education loans, gold loans.
  • Digital lending apps and instant loan platforms.
  • NBFCs, banks, small finance banks, co-operative banks, and Business Correspondents.
  • Credit cards, buy-now-pay-later (BNPL), and EMI financing services.
  • Life insurance, health insurance, motor insurance, and general insurance brokers or agents.
  • Mutual fund distributors, AMFI-registered advisors, SEBI-registered investment advisors (RIAs).
  • Stock broking, demat account opening, and trading platforms.
  • Portfolio management services (PMS), alternative investment funds (AIFs).
  • Payment aggregators, PPI wallet issuers, and UPI-based financial apps.
  • Pension products, NPS distributors, and retirement planning platforms.
  • Cryptocurrency, forex, and binary-option-adjacent financial services (subject to additional Google policy).

If the business falls into any of the above buckets and advertises on Google Ads in India, G2 verification is non-negotiable.

Three Eligibility Categories in the G2 Application

The G2 application form asks every Indian advertiser to declare one of three business statuses. Selecting the wrong category is the single biggest reason applications are delayed or rejected.

  1. Licensed and Registered Financial Service Provider (India) — The business offers financial services and holds a valid licence plus registration issued by the relevant Indian regulator (RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, PFRDA, AMFI, or equivalent).
  2. Exempted Financial Service Provider — The business provides financial services but is legally exempted from holding a licence or registration under Indian law.
  3. Non–Financial Service Provider — The business does not provide any financial service itself and is applying only because Google Ads policy requires the declaration.

How to Find the 10-Digit Google Ads Customer ID

The 10-digit Google Ads Customer ID is the unique identifier Google uses to link the G2 verification to the correct ad account. After signing in to Google Ads at ads.google.com, the Customer ID appears in the top-right corner of the dashboard, typically in the format XXX-XXX-XXXX. All three segments together make up the 10-digit ID that must be entered on the G2 form.
