The story

Founded in 2018 in Zug as SEBA Crypto AG, the firm became one of the world's first regulated crypto banks when FINMA granted it a banking and securities-dealer license in 2019. It expanded into fund custody in 2021 via a CISA license, then rebranded to AMINA Bank AG and pursued a multi-jurisdictional footprint — ADGM branch, Hong Kong entity, and a MiCAR-regulated Austrian entity — positioning itself as a globally-passported bridge between traditional banking and digital assets.
