Frequently asked questions

Based in Europe, Indemo is a regulated platform that facilitates loan-based investments. When you join Indemo, you gain access to hundreds of investment opportunities from lending companies located in Spain.

Both retail and institutional investors have the opportunity to invest in loans and discounted debt products through Indemo. Lending companies can quickly and easily connect with investors seeking to earn returns on these loan-based investments.

Indemo is a licensed and supervised investment firm under the authority of Latvijas Banka, the central bank of Latvia. Furthermore, Indemo is a member of the National Investor Compensation scheme. This means that in the event of Indemo being unable to return assets, you'll be entitled to receive a compensation of 90% of your irrevocable loss, up to a limit of €20,000. This does not include losses incurred from investments.

Whereas other investment platforms allow you to invest in stocks and bonds, Indemo allows you to make asset-backed investments. We make it easy to discover and access these investment products — helping you generate healthy returns, and diversify your portfolio. We've developed strong relationships with key players in lending and real estate, helping us to bring you exclusive investment opportunities with huge potential.

This depends on your investment style. If you choose a passive investment approach and use our Autoinvest feature, the time commitment required for managing your investments is typically minimal. However, if you prefer a more selective investment style and wish to choose each investment individually, then managing your investments will likely require more time. 

Regardless of which strategy you choose, we encourage you to track your investment results and goals through your Indemo investor cabinet. We make sure to give you all the reports and data you need to get a clear picture of how things are going.

Any investment comes with risk, and your capital is always at stake. Indemo offers you opportunities to enter a market that is not only uncrowded, but far less volatile than the usual retail offerings. Investing in loans and credit is a tried and tested way for asset managers to generate healthy, stable returns — but it’s always been out of reach to the ordinary investor.

We’re bringing these investment options to our community — helping retail investors like you take advantage of the benefits of asset-backed products. Find out more by checking out the products we offer!

Before you invest on Indemo, we need you to complete a few steps to ensure safety and compliance. We're committed to making Indemo a safe and secure place to invest, and we take crime prevention very seriously. We require certain information from you to help us make the necessary checks. These include:

1. Register for an Indemo Account
2. Verify your identity
3. Complete a Suitability & Appropriateness assessment

We take our commitment to safety seriously and strive to prevent financial crimes. Therefore, we comply with applicable EU anti-money laundering laws and "Know Your Customer" policies. As part of this, we need to verify your identity and ask you questions about yourself to ensure it is really you.

As a licensed and supervised investment firm, it is our responsibility to ensure that the investment products we offer are suitable and appropriate for our investors. Based on your answers to our assessment, we will make certain ways of investing available to you and set a responsible investment limit for your account. You can retake the assessment at any time if your circumstances change.

Indemo is an investment firm licensed and supervised by Latvijas Banka (the Central Bank of Latvia). License number 06.06.08.824/547. You can check our regulated status on the official page of the Central Bank of Latvia: https://uzraudziba.bank.lv/en/market/investment-service-providers/investment-firms/indemo-sia/

We believe that everyone should have the right to discover exciting investment opportunities, regardless of their budget. Starting from as little as €10.00, you can begin your investment journey and start building your portfolio with Indemo. Simply deposit some funds, pick an investment, and enjoy your returns. You can withdraw your returns at any time.

All investments on Indemo are executed through instruments called Notes. You can find out more about Notes on our product page. We offer two different ways to manage your investments; manual and automatic investing.

With manual investing, you explore, analyze, and purchase investment opportunities independently. This is for investors who prefer more control, and like to do their own research. 

For automatic investing, Indemo offers a popular Auto-Invest tool. This tool allows you to set your own parameters, and then sit back and allow us to do the work for you. Once you've set your preferences and budget, the system will use your free funds to invest in opportunities on your behalf. Once returns are made on your investments, these will automatically be used to make further investments until you decide to withdraw. 

As an investment firm with a license, Indemo is obligated to ensure that the investment products offered are suitable and appropriate for investors according to MiFID II regulations. To ensure this, Indemo requires investors to complete a Suitability and Appropriateness assessment before they start investing. This assessment is designed to ensure that investors are aware of the risks of investing with Indemo and that their financial situation is suitable to handle these risks. It also determines whether the investment products offered by Indemo meet the expectations and needs of investors based on their knowledge and experience.

For individual investors, the Suitability and Appropriateness assessment consists of four sections of questions which cover the investor's financial situation, investment knowledge, investment experience, and investment goals. The questions for legal entity accounts may differ based on their legal status, and some sections may be skipped.

The results of the assessment determine which investment products are deemed suitable and appropriate for the investor. Investors will only have access to those investment products that are appropriate for them. However, manual investments are always available, although investors may receive a warning message before investing. The individual responsible investing requirement may also be set for an investor's automated strategies based on their investment goals and net worth. This requirement only applies to individuals and not legal entities.

Investors can see their current results, including the available investment products and the maximum amount they can invest with automated strategies, in the Suitability and Appropriateness section of their account. If a way of investing is not suitable for the investor based on their assessment answers, they will be able to see the reason why. If an investor's situation changes and they need to update their answers to the assessment, they can click on the "Edit" button in the top right corner of their account.

Notes are securities backed by loans or debts. They allow investors to invest in mortgage loans or discounted debts in a regulated environment. In simple words you get exposure to both the return and risk of the chosen lending products by investing into the Stack of Notes. To create a Stack of Notes, several loans, usually 8, with similar properties are pooled together. Each Stack of Notes has a unique International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) and consists of Notes of €0.01 nominal value each. By investing in a Stack of Notes, you gain diversification across all underlying loans or debts in the pool.

Notes are issued by a special purpose entity which is controlled by and is a part of the Indemo group. This SPV issuer obtains loan receivables from the cooperative lending and servicing companies, encloses them into the Stack of Notes and places them on Indemo platform. Purchasing Notes entitles you to receive income payments from the Notes whenever the borrower or debtor makes payments on the linked loan.

Mortgage Loan Investments are investments in bank type mortgage loans which professional lending companies issue to debtors. As the loan principal and interest are being repaid according to the schedule, investors can expect regular portions of the repayments. Discounted Debt Investments are created out of loans in which the borrower has failed to make payments on. High street Spanish banks sell these loans on the market at a significantly discounted price, including the real estate asset attached to them. When investing in Notes, the investor gets exposure to such debts at the discounted rate. Once the attached real estate is sold for its market value, the investor receives profit from the spread between the paid discounted price and the real estate sale proceeds. Discounted Debts do not generate regular payments, however they can can generate higher returns from the proceeds of the sale.

The minimum investment amount is €10. The maximum available amount is indicated under the green status bar “to invest”.

Should Indemo become insolvent or unable to service its clients, the rules applicable to the resolution of an investment firm would apply. Investors’ titles in the Notes would remain in force irrespective of the status of Indemo. The insolvency procedure would be managed and supervised by Latvijas Banka, the Central Bank of Latvia. The appointed liquidator or administrator would take over the functions of the management board. Your investment accounts will be transferred to the substitute investment firm and it will continue servicing investors and relevant Notes portfolios in line with the applicable insolvency and liquidation rules.

Furthermore, investors’ uninvested funds and investments in Stacks of Notes are protected by an investor compensation scheme, which allows retail investors to receive compensation for 90% of the permanent loss resulting from a failure of Indemo to transfer the funds or financial instruments of the investor held by Indemo according to the investor’s instruction, up to a limit of €20 000. Learn more about investor protection in the FAQs available on Indemo page.

We work with carefully selected lending companies that provide loans to businesses and individuals to purchase real property. These companies often look to investors to fund the loans they issue — that’s where we come in.

Indemo gives you the opportunity to invest in these loans, and earn returns on the loan repayments, the interest accrued, or returns from mortgage enforcement. It’s a simple and efficient way for investors to profit from the lending market whilst increasing diversification.

Some of the benefits of asset-backed investments include:

- Real diversification for your portfolio
- Lower risk and lower volatility
- Real collateral with checkable market value situated in EU
- Higher yields and greater security compared to stocks and bonds

You can request InDemo to withdraw the money that is not invested from your platform account to your bank account at any time.

Please note that it may take up to three business days for your deposit to be processed, after which the funds will be added to your account and reflected in your profile.

Once your outstanding investments made through Autoinvest reach this limit, Autoinvest will automatically stop investing. However, as you receive repayments and your outstanding investments made through Autoinvest decrease below the set amount, Autoinvest will resume investing again. You can always modify your responses to the Suitability and Appropriateness assessment in your account settings if your circumstances change.

You can stop Autoinvest at any time by clicking on the Autoinvest button, then clicking on the Terminate button, and confirming your choice on the pop-up window.

Indemo, being a licensed investment firm, is obligated to adhere to strict security checks and identity verification requirements. These requirements are in accordance with the prevailing anti-money laundering (AML) and customer verification regulations. Indemo is legally required to conduct its own compliance checks, even if other institutions have already done so.

We acknowledge that we may ask for sensitive information from our investors. However, we assure you that we treat all information with utmost confidentiality. Indemo operates under the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), which oversees data protection and privacy in the European Union. We handle all personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Indemo as a tax agent withholds tax from the interest payable from both Discounted Debt Investments and Mortgage Loans Investments at the rate of 5% if you are an individual and tax resident of EU/EEA; or at the rate of 20% if you are individual and tax resident of Latvia or another country (non-EU/EEA). We also urge you to check income taxation and declaration rules in the country where you are a tax resident.

Please note that it is just a general understanding of how tax rules work towards investors – and individuals; it should not be treated as tax advice.

As far as we know, in Germany, passive income from interest is taxed at the rate of 26.375%. When the investor receives profit from Discounted Debts or Mortgage Loan Investments, this profit is taxed at a 5% tax rate by Indemo.

Each year, Indemo, as a regulated investment firm, issues the tax statement to the customers, where information is provided on the amounts of interest paid and tax withheld.

Considering that Indemo is domiciled in Latvia, being a member state of the EU and having a Double Tax Treaty with Germany, the tax resident of Germany can declare the amounts of interest received and tax paid in Latvia, absorbing the tax paid in Latvia. He will pay just the remaining tax at 21.375% (26.375% - 5%) from the profit received on Indemo.

The same approach applies to the residents of Spain, where passive income from interest is taxed at 19% (up to an income threshold of 6000 euros). So, the remaining 14% tax will be payable in Spain when the annual return is lodged.

Still, we urge you to consult your accountant or tax advisor to consider all the details of taxation in your home country.
