PopCash is owned and operated by PopCash, a privately held advertising network founded in Bucharest, Romania, in October 2012 by co-founders Alex and Radu. It is one of the oldest specialized popunder ad networks, serving advertisers and publishers worldwide. The same team later launched the multiformat network Mondiad in 2019 as a sister platform.

Planning for PopCash began in early 2012, when co-founders Alex and Radu began outlining a specialized popunder traffic network after several months of preparation. The first internal tests ran on September 20, 2012, and version one of the platform launched publicly on October 1, 2012.
The product thesis was simple: popunder ads, which load behind the active browser window, deliver advertiser results without the disruption of traditional pop-ups. PopCash focused exclusively on that single format rather than building a multiformat network, which let it build targeting, fraud filtering, and optimization tools specifically for pop traffic.
Growth was fast. By 2015 the network was serving more than 500 million unique monthly visitors and had become one of the most visited ad platforms on the web. The self-serve model let publishers of any size monetize traffic and let advertisers buy targeted impressions by country and category on a CPM basis.
In 2019 the same core team launched Mondiad, a broader multiformat ad network supporting push, in-page push, native, banner, and other formats. PopCash remained focused on popunder inventory while Mondiad carried the team's expansion into wider adtech. Through the early 2020s PopCash continued operating as a profitable niche network with a compact team distributed across Romania, Argentina, Bolivia, and other locations.
As of 2026 the platform still operates as a self-serve popunder exchange with daily payout processing for publishers and a low minimum deposit for advertisers, maintaining its position among the longest-running dedicated popunder networks.
What kind of company is PopCash?
PopCash is a private advertising technology company that operates a self-serve popunder ad network. It connects advertisers buying low-cost pop traffic with publishers monetizing website visitors.
Is PopCash a public company?
No. PopCash is privately held and has never taken institutional funding. It has no stock listing and publishes no financial statements.
Where is PopCash headquartered?
The company is headquartered at Soseaua Fabrica de Glucoza 9B in Sector 2, Bucharest, Romania. It also lists operational presence in Costa Rica and Panama.
How many brands does PopCash own?
The company operates two platforms: PopCash, the original popunder network, and Mondiad, a multiformat ad network launched in 2019.
Who owns PopCash?
PopCash is owned and controlled by its co-founders, known publicly as Alex and Radu, who founded the company in Bucharest in 2012 and have retained ownership since.
How does PopCash make money?
The company earns the spread between what advertisers pay for popunder impressions and what it pays publishers for traffic. Advertisers buy on a CPM basis through a self-serve platform, and publishers are paid daily.
No regulatory actions, fines, or legal proceedings against PopCash are documented as of November 2026. The brand operates in a segment of adtech that attracts general criticism for intrusive formats and malvertising risk, and ad blockers commonly target popunder scripts, but no specific enforcement action against PopCash itself is on record.
Advertisers and publishers using the network operate under standard self-serve terms, and the company maintains fraud detection tooling that it markets as a core feature. Independent reviewers generally list it as a legitimate, long-running network rather than a fraudulent operator.
No direct competitors found in the same category. This could be because PopCashoperates in a unique market segment or we're still building our competitor database.
