Amina Group

Regulated crypto banking built for professional investors and family offices.

Web-based
01 — Overview

What Amina Group does

Family offices adding digital assets to their balance sheets face a structural problem: most banks cannot custody crypto, and most crypto-native platforms lack the banking infrastructure, compliance frameworks, and multi-asset coverage that institutional investors require. AMINA Bank was founded in 2019 specifically to close that gap, operating as a FINMA-regulated Swiss bank that treats digital assets as a core offering rather than an add-on. Its about page states explicitly that its mission is to serve professional investors, companies, family offices, and institutions.

For a family office principal, the practical consequence is a single banking relationship covering both traditional and digital assets. The product set includes:

  • Regulated crypto custody with flexible access levels and institutional security standards
  • Fixed-term and 35-day notice deposit accounts for cash management
  • Staking services to generate yield on held crypto
  • Trading across equities, fixed income, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies
  • Tokenization services for on-chain asset issuance
  • A real-time fiat settlement network in CHF, EUR, USD, GBP, AED, and HKD

AMINA holds a MiCA license through its Austrian subsidiary, giving it access to up to 30 European markets. Offices operate in Switzerland, the UAE, Hong Kong, India, and Austria, which positions the bank to serve family offices with cross-jurisdictional needs across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.

The trade-off a buyer accepts is scope. AMINA is purpose-built for the digital asset space and serves clients who have meaningful crypto or tokenized asset exposure. Family offices with no interest in digital assets will find limited differentiation here compared to a traditional private bank. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the breadth of traditional investment services appears more limited than what a full-service private bank would offer.

AMINA Bank was established to provide precisely this solution to professional investors, companies, family offices and institutions.
