Google announced it is expanding Financial Services Verification to the United States and Canada to fight financial scam ads.

Advertisers for certain financial products must show they are authorized by relevant regulators or recognized registries, on top of Google's existing identity verification.

Google says over 97% of ads people see in the two countries already come from identity-verified advertisers, and the verification program protects about 2 billion users across 42 countries.
