Key challenges include measuring sensitive conversions, preventing fraud, and personalizing experiences without compromising compliance. Granular event tracking, deep linking, and anti-fraud solutions are essential. Banks must measure early-funnel milestones, re-activate dormant users, and leverage owned media for cost-effective re-engagement. Advanced attribution methods like SKAdNetwork, probabilistic modeling, and data clean rooms help navigate privacy changes. Effective measurement drives long-term customer value and validates mobile's impact on business outcomes.
