Rebrand in the making.

Woah, legal issues incoming.

Haha - we are not related!

1. You are trading very closely to their mark (financial services), leaving yourself open to these litigation issues from day one.

2. If you succeed, you'll have to rebrand. You have a lousy and confusing name and domain (sorry for being brutally honest). We see this all the time. Rebrands are expensive as hell.

3. If you fail, it will be largely due to naming.

Can't believe YC didn't tell you that ahead.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, it's definitely something we will keep in mind as we grow.

Appreciate the brutally honest feedback, it's usually the best kind :)
