NationRemit is a global money transfer service founded by my clients, two UK veterans of the money remittance industry. Their company aims to provide a simple, fair, and convenient way for customers to send money to their loved ones across the globe. With a focus on fast, secure, and low-cost transfers, NationRemit offers multiple transfer methods, including mobile wallets, bank transfers, and cash payouts, accessible through their website and mobile apps.
My Role in this project was to create a cohesive brand identity, working closely with a team of designers who all had different tasks in this project.
Comprehensive Branding and Digital Presence Development
The challenge was to create a cohesive brand identity that would be versatile across various digital platforms, including a website and a mobile app, while ensuring ease of use and security.
Our research phase involved an in-depth analysis of the money remittance industry, competitor benchmarking, and understanding brand identities and Key insights revealed the need for a brand that emphasizes speed, security, and affordability. We developed a strategy centered around these core values, aiming to differentiate NationRemit in a crowded market.

Wise excels in speed, affordability, and efficiency, particularly in bank transfers, with its vast global infrastructure. Its strong digital presence, low fees, and intuitive interface make it the preferred choice for many users. Although NationRemit provides more flexibility with payout methods and personalized support, Wise’s global reputation and dominance in the money transfer space give it an edge in terms of cost-effectiveness, speed, and overall user experience.
