Remittance
A UK money transfer brand for Nigerians abroad, built around what each transfer pays for at the other end. We shaped the identity, the voice and the digital presence.

Know More
Sending money home carries weight. It is a landlord in Surulere paid on time, a sister's school fees settled, a parent's hospital bill handled from 5,000 kilometres away.
Problem
Most of the services moving that money treat it like any other payment. The rate on the home screen is rarely the rate you get once the fees are counted. The app asks for the same details every month. And between pressing send and hearing that it has landed, there is a stretch of waiting nobody designs for.
The people sending have learned to work around all of this. Many check rates across several apps before each transfer, screenshot every receipt, and message family to confirm the money arrived. The market had split two ways. The big legacy brands felt built for someone else, and the newer apps looked polished but spoke in the generic language of global fintech. Neither sounded like it came from the community it served.
Solution
We designed the brand around the moment of sending, and made the cost the clearest thing on the screen.
Trust in money transfer is earned in small, checkable ways, so the identity starts there. The full cost of a transfer is shown plainly before anyone confirms it, and nothing important is tucked into small print.
The voice was written for people who live between two places: settled in London or Manchester, still fluent in how things work in Lagos. It is warm and direct, and it drops the corporate distance most financial brands default to. A confirmation message reads the way a relative would want to hear it.
The campaign work takes the same idea outdoors. "Payment Without Borders" puts the brand alongside the countries its audience sends to, with diaspora faces at the centre of the imagery instead of phones and charts.
What we delivered
One identity, carried from the logo to the last screen before a transfer confirms.
Brand identity and visual system
Tone of voice written for the diaspora
"Payment Without Borders", an out-of-home campaign concept
Campaign imagery featuring diaspora talent
Digital presence
What we learned
Four things this project taught us about building a brand people trust with money.
Trust comes from what people can check. Anyone who has been caught out by a hidden fee has stopped believing the words "low fees". A cost they can see before they commit does more work than any tagline.
Culture lives in the small details. Getting the diaspora right came down to word choices: which phrases feel familiar, and which sound like a bank talking. Being fluent in both places mattered more than any single visual decision.
The minutes after sending need the most care. People feel least sure right after the money leaves their account. That is where the brand's tone has to be at its calmest and clearest.
Show the people at the other end. A transfer brand that only shows phones and exchange rates misses why anyone sends money at all. Putting families and faces at the centre of the campaign said more about the service than a product shot could.
