Qik is a fully digital bank providing increased benefits and reduced costs, allowing you to manage your finances effortlessly through your phone 24/7. Embracing constant change, we empower you with control through adaptive products tailored to your needs.

Saffron Brand Consultants undertook the branding initiative for Qik, a bank in the Dominican Republic. As a designer at Saffron, I played a significant role in contributing to the rebranding project, which began in June 2022.
 

The challenge
  Qik aimed to refresh its brand image, aspiring for a lively and approachable identity tailored to resonate with a younger demographic.

Everything in Qik.

Qik’s Brand Strategy on one page:


In contributing to the enhancement of Qik’s brand, we guided the company in establishing its Verbal Identity

Exceptional brands possess distinctive and authentic voices capable of provoking, engaging, and connecting with their audiences. The way we communicate should be as memorable as our visual identity, forming an integral part of building our brand reputation.

Our Verbal Identity serves as a valuable tool, allowing us to convey messages consistently, authentically, and in a strategy-driven manner to diverse audiences across all touchpoints. Aligned with our Brand Platform, particularly rooted in our personality traits, it actively contributes to shaping the desired associations for our brand.





The voice is a reflection of Quick’s personality.

The voice is an extension of our brand, activated through speech or writing, providing greater emotional richness to the brand.

Qik speaks like...
The lively friend.











Based on the comprehensive data and information collected, Qik delved into the visual language of its new brand, meticulously assessing its design.

During this exploration, the focus was on:
  • How to inject the brand personality into a new identity.
  • How to show our international reach while showing our Indian roots and expertise.
  • How to show our determination while being elusive.
  • How to design a brand identity scalable in a variety of businesses
