Everything a journalist needs to describe the product accurately, including the parts we are not yet allowed to claim.
Boilerplate
Depozit is a Kuwaiti financial technology company building a guarantee-backed Visa Signature card for hotel, car-rental and service deposits. Instead of requiring a cash deposit, a salary transfer or collateral, Depozit guarantees the merchant's hold — 90% of it, to a KD 500 ceiling — for a flat KD 80 a year, itemised across four Islamic finance contracts. The product has no credit line, no revolving balance and no interest in either direction.
Current status: Registration with the Central Bank of Kuwait is in progress. We are not yet authorised to issue cards. Approved by an independent Sharia Supervisory Board. BIN sponsorship is under negotiation with a Visa principal member.

Coverage
Press coverage is listed here with a link to each piece, once there is any.
We do not display publication logos without an article behind them — a logo with no piece behind it implies an endorsement the publication never gave.
Logo and lockups
Six lockups, and the rule for each. Use them as supplied — do not recolour, rotate, stretch, add effects, or re-type the wordmark in another face.
Stacked with tagline
Where the promise needs saying: covers, decks, signage. Never below 120px wide — the tagline stops being legible.
Palette
Two colours over a cool grayscale. Navy leads the interface; blue accents it.
- Navy — #003087
- Ink, primary action, brand fields. The voice of the brand, and 11.2:1 on the page.
- Blue — #009CDE
- Accent only: the mark's lobe, rules, fills, highlights. Never text on a light surface — it measures 2.9:1, below even the 3:1 bar for large type. Where blue has to carry a word we use #0077A9, the same hue walked down to 4.7:1.
- Grayscale
- Eight cool steps, Cloud #EDEFF7 through Black. Body text is Phantom #1E1E24; the faintest tone in use is Graphite #6E7180, which is the lightest step that still clears 4.5:1.
- Typeface
- Manrope, one family throughout, Light to ExtraBold — on the brand's 64 / 48 / 32 / 24 / 18 / 16 scale. Arabic is set in IBM Plex Sans Arabic.
Using our name and mark
Use the wordmark and the D mark as supplied, without recolouring, rotating, stretching, or adding effects. The wordmark is supplied as outlines and must not be re-typed in another face.
Please describe the product as a guarantee-backed card, not as a credit card. It has no credit line, and the distinction is the whole product.
