Game of Thrones spoiler ahead: I am not wild about that name. The Lannisters are the bad guys throughout the run of the GoT story and by later seasons it is revealed that their wealth has mostly wasted away. They are only able to keep up appearances of wealth through taking on large amounts of debt and by looting their enemies. Yes, the single primary characteristic you would assign to the Lannisters is wealth. I am…

I understand your point. Our goal was to name it after a person, like "Alfred" the productivity app for Mac ( https://www.alfredapp.com ), but we found that Lannister would be more appropriate as a reference to wealth management. Hope it does not lead you into thinking about the secondary traits.

What about Mana Musa?

I think it's a great name! It is recognizable and well-associated with what you're building, even if the name-story accuracy isn't 100% - I think that would be serious nitpicking and you can always rename it something else later when the cost / benefit makes sense.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Looks nice. How does this app authenticate with your various financial accounts?

It stores your credentials locally. The whole situation should improve with PSD2 (EU perspective).

Give a closed source app my bank credentials? No thanks.

I don't see any information about the source code... No mention of Open source on the website.

We have it at the bottom of the page, but I agree that it's not very visible. We'll add it at the top of the page. Thanks for your feedback! Appreciate it!

Thank you so much, we also believe that is the best approach. I wouldn't describe the context of naming the product and why we did it better than you just did :)
