Push FairLane fair-lending-safe segments to The Trade Desk at once. Find your audience in the FairLane catalog and activate it on The Trade Desk through the Skydeo Audience Marketplace (SAM).

What is The Trade Desk?

The Trade Desk is the largest independent demand-side platform, enabling omnichannel programmatic buying across CTV, display, audio, and more.

As demand-side platforms, Demand-side platforms let advertisers buy programmatic display, video, and CTV inventory across many exchanges from a single seat. Banks, lenders, and credit unions use channels like this to acquire new customers — which is exactly where fair-lending discipline matters most.

Are FairLane audiences on The Trade Desk compliant with Regulation B?

FairLane segments are built to be Regulation B friendly regardless of destination: no age, sex, race, religion, national origin, marital status, or public-assistance data, no income or net-worth bands, no geography finer than state or DMA, and no lookalike extension. On The Trade Desk, these audiences remain for invitation-to-apply and brand marketing only and are never used for credit eligibility, underwriting, or pricing.

How do I get a FairLane segment onto The Trade Desk?

Browse the FairLane catalog, choose your audience, and request activation. We coordinate delivery to your The Trade Desk seat through the Skydeo Audience Marketplace (SAM), subject to The Trade Desk's own onboarding and match requirements. You can also request a compliance attestation for your vendor-review file.

Does using third-party data on The Trade Desk create fair-lending risk?

Third-party audiences can introduce proxy risk when they carry income, geography, or modeled attributes that correlate with protected classes. FairLane removes those inputs at the data layer, so activating on The Trade Desk does not reintroduce them — and attestation documents permitted use at the campaign layer.

FairLane audiences are for invitation-to-apply and brand marketing only. They are not consumer report data under the FCRA and are not for use in determining credit eligibility, underwriting, pricing, or account management.
