Rental deposit meets ETF investing: Evorest is set-out to revolutionize the Swiss rental deposit market

Newly founded fintech Evorest aims to revolutionize Swiss rental deposits. For the first time, tenants will be able to digitally invest their rental deposits in low-cost funds, instead of keeping their money locked-up on low-interest accounts.

Zurich, 25.09.2023

Evorest’s mission is to digitize the end-to-end rental deposit process for tenants and property managers, while reviving locked-up capital.

Tenants will be able to sign their rental deposit contract digitally and invest their locked-up capital in ETFs to earn a return that they get to keep. Those who don’t want to invest, can also open a conventional deposit account fully digitally. Evorest is working with Hypothekarbank Lenzburg who will administer the capital and ensure the safe keeping of the deposits.

Property managers will be able to open, modify and close rental deposit accounts with just a few clicks. By digitizing the entire customer journey, Evorest will make daily tasks more efficient and enable deposit openings in just 24 hours. In addition, property managers will receive an increased level of damage coverage if markets go up - while the paid-in deposit is always guaranteed.

Evorest uses the open banking interface of the Swiss-based banking service provider Hypothekarbank Lenzburg. The innovative Evorest solution enters beta phase today and is expected to be ready for market by Q4 2023.

The team is comprised of Marc Schuster, Gianluca Cottiati and Felix Graule, who have diverse backgrounds in private equity, banking and data science. They all met during their career start at the Boston Consulting Group.
