Yova: New name and German launch

Last week it was called Yova, now it's Inyova: the Swiss fintech is focusing on green and ethical investments by private investors and is also launching its offering in Germany from today.

Last week, Inyova could still be found under the name Yova, but now the fintech is also launching its offering in Germany under a new name. "We are very proud that, as a Swiss start-up, we are able to set our sights on the next market after such a short time," says CEO Tillmann Lang. "The German market has great potential."

Many of Inyova's customers are first-time investors, says the start-up. This is precisely where the fintech is also targeting the German market and wants to win people over with its sustainable and ethical investment strategy: "Inyova's strength lies in getting people interested in investing who haven't invested before. The combination of digital, sustainable and an average return of six percent appeals to a new generation of investors," says Lang.

The fintech launched its offering in 2019. The concept is based on the possibility of setting individual requirements for your own investment. For example, you can choose not to invest in "weapons" or "tobacco", while at the same time setting preferences such as "renewable energies" or "access to education". It was only in May that Inyova raised eleven million Swiss francs, which was also used to expand into Germany. The fintech is currently building up its German team and is looking to recruit for Frankfurt.
