I’m trying to start an e-wallet in the UK, like Cash App in the US but I’m struggling to find a good name for it.

Any suggestions welcome!

If you have the budget, consult with a naming or branding agency they usually have processes for this type of stuff.

Choosing a good name for your e-wallet is critical, as it helps create a first impression, aids in branding, and stays with consumers. When selecting a name, consider the following factors:

  • Easy to remember and pronounce
  • Short and simple
  • Reflective of the product’s features or benefits
  • Differentiable from competitors
  • Scalable and adaptable for future expansion
  • Available as a domain name (.com, .co.uk, etc.) and for trademark registration

Here are some creative name suggestions for your UK e-wallet:

  1. PayPulse
  2. QuickQuid
  3. BritWallet
  4. TapToPay
  5. SterlingKeep
  6. PocketPence
  7. SnapSterling
  8. UnionPayUK
  9. PouchPay
  10. SwiftSpend
  11. CashCrest
  12. BritBucks
  13. CashClasp
  14. MoneyMingle
  15. TransactTile
  16. SovereignSync
  17. QuikWallet
  18. SpendSpree
  19. ZestPay
  20. CleverCoin

It’s always a good idea to test your top choices with potential users to see which resonates best. Additionally, before settling on a name, make sure to check for any existing trademarks or businesses using the name to avoid legal issues and ensure that the domain and social media handles are available.

Pick a funny nickname for money or UK coin or bank note and start with that. Like call it Moola or something like that.

[–] ayopassthat@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Namelix.com helped me. Word Glue is a book (expensive) that may help you.

There are a bunch of business name generators online that allow you to play around with different inputs. They probably won't give you your forever name, since they aren't concerned with things like memorability, simplicity, search placement, etc. but they might give you just enough input for you to come up with something that works well for your business.

Cash-E! or e-cash

Like e-mail, but for cash - potential tagline!

[–] marcusroar@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I reckon the regulation around the app might be harder than finding a name lol

[–] Proof_Meaning_1137@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You’re right, we will need FCA license. Hoping to get a PI first to cover the money movement and act as an agent for a EMI for safeguarding client funds. Will take about 250k it fees and capital reserves to keep them happy.

[–] Twice_Knightley@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

With the new king, call it ChuckBucks or ChuckChange.

Or, since you're creating an entire financial institution, get your vast marketing team to do what you're paying them to do.

Just “Crown” or “Mark”

[–] shanedj@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Naming things is the least of your worries here.

I'd be aiming to get all your legals and regulatory work with the FCA sorted before the name. That's probably a mammoth task on its own.

😂 or WotANotIgot

[–] TheEtsyConsultant@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes it is, very. My team has spent the last 3 weeks coming up with a new name for our startup because the one we wanted was in the same USPTO class.

We finally got it today, no guarantees until we do all the trademark searches etc, but looks promising.

Then there's the whole domain name issue as well, lol.

[–] Proof_Meaning_1137@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s tricky, in the UK we also have protected names that we can’t use, like “Bank” and “Fund” unless you have the right license.

😂 Domain name is the first thing to check. I see a lot of startups putting prefixes on their domain names, instead of “wallet.co.uk” it’s “getwallet” or “trywallet”.

[–] TheEtsyConsultant@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yes we got the domain name luckily, we didn't realise how difficult the process would be because other names we used just worked without a problem.

[–] d_sakamoto@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Whatever the slang is for sketchy transactions in the UK
