Challenge

As a new global neobank offering both traditional banking and crypto services, Aybank needed a brand that reflected that duality. The Halo Lab team was brought in to build a strong brand identity that would balance corporate trust with a modern look while laying a foundation solid enough for licensing, investor relations, and confident market entry.

Our process

Moving from deep market insight to a distinct visual language, we translated Aybank’s ambition into a credible, future-ready brand built to earn lasting trust among regulators, investors, and everyday users alike.

Brand strategy

A well-defined brand strategy was essential for Aybank’s growth, so we carefully considered market positioning, audience needs, and brand values to define a clear direction for its brand.
