The Story Behind Maplefly Money’s Name
You may wonder how Maplefly Money got its name, especially if you’re based on the Central Coast or North Shore. While our name isn’t inspired by a specific location, it was born from a memorable family trip to Canada. After this visit, a golden Labrador named Maple became part of our family.
Maple’s qualities—loyalty, positivity, and care—resonated deeply with us, which is why we chose to name the business after her. Just like Maple, we believe in treating people with loyalty, trust, and understanding, values that are core to our approach at Maplefly Money.
