How to choose a name for your own money app

Your app's name is the first thing people hear and the thing they type when they tell a friend. A few simple checks will save you from a name nobody can remember or one you can't use.
Make it easy to say and spell
If someone hears the name once, they should be able to type it. Short names with clear sounds work best, in every language your customers speak.
Hint at who it's for
A name that echoes your community, city or trade tells people the app is for them. The big banks can't do that, so it is one of your advantages.

Type your business name and see your free website
Type a name and tap a colour. The website changes as you go.
Colour
Free to build, free to publish, free to keep.
Check it before you fall in love
Before you decide, look up:
- Whether the web address is free.
- Whether the handles are free on the social apps your people use.
- Whether another money business already uses the name where you operate.
- Whether the word means something unfortunate in another language.
Stay away from protected words
In most countries you can't call yourself a bank unless you hold a banking licence. Use words like pay, money, wallet, cash or account instead.
Claim it straight away
Once you have chosen, register the web address and the social handles the same day, so nobody else takes them.
