Can I use words like fund, bank or trust in a Cayman company name?

Only with approval. The General Registry reserves the name first, and a name containing restricted words needs consent from the Registrar or the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority before the company can be filed. That approval adds time, so if the word is not essential, choose a plain name and describe the activity in your documents instead.
