Awesome!

Cenoa helps me save money. The app is easy to use, and I love watching my investments grow. Even as a non-expert, I feel more confident thanks to Cenoa’s tips and financial education, and I’m making progress toward my down payment goals.

I opened my account in under 5 minutes and started earning almost immediately. The team was fast and helpful, the founders have strong backgrounds at top banks and tech companies, and Cenoa is backed by highly reputable fintech investors.

Great financial app

At first, I was skeptical — it sounded too good to be true. But Cenoa is the real deal. I’ve seen my savings grow more than with other options, with no penalty to withdraw. With decades in the industry, I’ve never seen such stable returns without managing a portfolio. Cenoa is set to change how people save.

Perfect App

In my experience, Cenoa is one of the fastest ways to invest and see results. I’ve been impressed compared to other apps and robo-investors, especially since there are no fees or lock-ups — I can withdraw anytime. The 8% yield is hard to beat. If you’re looking to invest, give Cenoa a try.

Great

I really appreciate how user-friendly the Cenoa app is. Even as a first-time investor outside a traditional bank, I found the process clear and easy to follow. The tips and financial education are a great bonus, and I’d definitely recommend Cenoa to my friends and family.

👍🏼👍🏼

I love Cenoa’s fair exchange rates and strong 3% yield, with daily returns as a great bonus. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to protect their savings from inflation and currency devaluation.
