James Vuong, the founder and CEO of Infina, has lofty ambitions for the digital investment service aimed at Vietnam’s rapidly-growing retail investor market. “We want to be the Robinhood of Vietnam – and the Coinbase too,” says Vuong of Infina, which is today announcing the closure of a successful $6m funding round. Vietnam is largely virgin territory for such services, despite the youthful profile of its 97 million-strong population – and the growing interest in investment. In Indonesia, for example, Ajaib makes a very similar case for its retail investment app. “The need for a new generation of retail investing apps like Infina is clear, not just for Vietnam but globally,” he argues.
