How to choose a logo, colours and brand for your money app

Your card, ready to use
  1. Your card appears in your app
  2. Tap it to pay in a shop
  3. See every payment as it happens

People decide in seconds whether a money app looks trustworthy. A simple, consistent brand does more for that first impression than an expensive one.

Keep the logo simple

A clear name or a simple mark works best. It needs to look good as a tiny app icon and on the front of a card.

Choose a tone of voice

Decide how your app talks: warm and friendly, or calm and professional. Use the same tone in the app, emails and posts.

Use it the same way everywhere

The same logo, colours and words on your website, app, cards and social media make a small brand look established.

Check your name and logo are free to use

Make sure no one else in money or payments already uses a similar name or logo in your country before you print anything.
