Are we allowed to use bank logos in the bank selection UI?

Bank logos are typically considered registered trademarks owned by the banks themselves, and they are protected by relevant intellectual property laws. As GoCardless is not the owner of bank logos, we do not have the authority to grant permission for their use.

If you intend to use bank logos in your services, it is essential that you seek permission from each individual bank. This will help you avoid any potential trademark infringement. Additionally, many banks provide guidelines on how their logos can be used in specific circumstances. In our experience, banks are generally open to allowing the use of their logos for enhancing user experience when users connect their bank account information.

To ensure compliance and respectful use of bank logos, we strongly advise reaching out to the respective banks to obtain proper permission. It is important to respect the intellectual property rights of the banks and adhere to their guidelines when utilizing their logos in your services.
