AMINA Bank Says It Scores First With Crypto Payments Integration

The digital assets bank – founded in 2019 – says it has achieved an important first in the crypto payments sector, an important part of the digital assets ecosystem.
AMINA Bank, a
digital banking group, has become the first such regulated bank
to integrate a crypto payments network known as Mesh.
Mesh allows clients to verify wallet ownership, and deposit
stablecoins and digital assets in a single, streamlined flow
across more than 300 wallet providers, Switzerland-headquartered
AMINA Bank said in a statement late last week.
The firm seeks to ride a rising wave of stablecoin usage. Citing
figures from Bessemer Venture Partners, AMINA said real-world
stablecoin payments doubled in 2025 to $400 billion even as
broader crypto markets declined. Some 60 per cent of rising
stablecoin volume came from business-to-business flows in areas
such as corporate treasury, cross-border settlement, and payment
service providers clearing transactions for their clients.
“The demand is there, but the regulated banking infrastructure to
support it has not kept pace. AMINA’s integration of Mesh closes
that gap, connecting clients directly to their existing wallets
and exchange accounts within a Swiss regulated banking
environment,” AMINA Bank said.
Myles Harrison, chief product officer at AMINA, said: “Despite
the incredible progress the industry has made in institutional
adoption, crypto remains difficult to move safely and efficiently
between platforms and regulated financial institutions.
Depositing into a bank has required clients to complete
wallet-signing on external platforms and verify addresses through
multi-step manual processes.”
“AMINA’s integration with Mesh eases that friction. Our clients
select their wallet provider, verify ownership, and deposit
within AMINA's platform in a few clicks, bringing the digital
asset deposit experience in line with the standards clients
expect in traditional finance. Verified deposits are the first
step,” Harrison said.
Additional capabilities are expected later this year, including
streamlining wallet verification during client onboarding, AMINA
Bank said.
The organisation was founded in April 2018 and established in
Zug. In February 2022, AMINA Bank, also received regulatory
permission in Abu Dhabi, and in November 2023, achieved
regulatory licenecs in Hong Kong. In October 2025, AMINA
(Austria) received its licence in Austria under the Markets in
Crypto-Assets (MiCAR) framework, giving it a European Union
market footprint.
