How to name your fintech app: picking a name customers will trust
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
People are careful about who they trust with their money, so the name of a money app matters more than most. A good one is short, easy to say, and sounds like somewhere your customers would be happy to keep their cash.
What makes a good money app name
- Short and easy to spell, so people can find it after hearing it once.
- Easy to say in the languages your customers speak.
- Says something about who it is for or what it does, or is simple enough to become a brand.
- Available as a web address and on the app stores and social media.
Words to be careful with
In the UK and many other countries, words like "bank" and "banking" are protected, and a business that isn't a bank generally can't use them in its name. Words that suggest a guarantee or a government link can also mislead. When in doubt, check the rules in each country you plan to serve.
Check it is free to use
- Search the trade mark register for your country, such as the UK Intellectual Property Office.
- Check Companies House, or your country's company register, for similar names.
- Search the app stores and the web for apps with a similar name.
- Buy the web address once you have decided.
