Swiss cryptocurrency bank SEBA rebrands to AMINA Bank
SEBA Bank, a renowned Swiss financial institution, undergoes an innovative rebrand to become AMINA Bank AG. This strategic change represents a pivotal moment for an institution that has been at the forefront of cryptocurrency banking since its inception.
In 2019, SEBA Bank made history as one of the first institutions to be regulated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) to offer cryptocurrency banking services.

Acknowledging the support he has received from investors and employees, Bergmueller said, “We would like to thank our dedicated investors who have played a critical role in our growth journey. Our employees across the region have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to our customers. Looking ahead to 2024, we are ready to accelerate the growth of our strategic hubs in Switzerland, Hong Kong and Abu Dhabi and continue our global expansion to build on our past successes.”

The rebrand highlights the institution’s determination to lead the future of finance and create a notable name in the cryptocurrency and banking industries.
