We have not chosen a colour palette, and leave this to the designer's discretion. Ideally, we would like to avoid black/grey palette. We are inclined towards bright and bold colours. Blue, green, purple and variations of are nice but not mandatory. See attached for colour palette. 

We don't want our logo to depict any money or currency, i.e. no dollar symbols, coins or banknotes, please. We would like our logo to evoke a sense of growth, excitement, security, solidity, intelligence. People can be intimidated by banking and finance. We would like our users to feel we are approachable but not too playful that people don't take us seriously. Afterall, our users are entrusting their money with us. 

Thank you!

Great work on the design! Simple yet powerful modern logo for our venture. Very happy with the results! Thanks.
