Where they were
CU Direct’s product names loosely fell into two major groups. Names in the first group were simple, descriptive and generic-feeling. Names in the second group, all coined, were more refined and open-ended (Vero, Intuvo, Fidelis). We concluded the new company-name-to-be fit best within the latter group.
What they needed

Where they landed
A coined word, Origence references the broad idea of being a go-to resource while alluding to the industry-specific idea of loan origination, too.
