Pinterest Adds Binary Options to Its Ban on Ads for Predatory Financial Products

On September 4, 2026, Pinterest notified advertisers that its updated advertising guidelines will take effect on November 12, placing binary options in the “predatory financial products” category alongside payday loans and unlicensed cryptocurrency products. This is the first time in eight years that a new platform has closed off this category; Google has maintained a dedicated binary options advertising policy since 2018.
