AMINA becomes first regulated bank to integrate Mesh

AMINA Bank AG, a Swiss crypto bank regulated by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA), has become the first regulated bank to integrate Mesh, a crypto payments network connecting more than 300 wallets, exchanges and financial platforms.

The integration introduces Mesh’s verified deposit technology into AMINA’s online banking platform, enabling clients to verify ownership of their wallets and transfer stablecoins and other digital assets directly into the bank through a single workflow. The process removes manual wallet address entry, external verification steps and other friction traditionally associated with crypto deposits.

Founded in 2018, AMINA holds a Swiss banking and securities dealer licence from FINMA, alongside licences in Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong and Austria. Its Austrian subsidiary, AMINA EU, secured a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) licence under MiCAR in October 2025. Founded in 2020, Mesh builds digital asset payment infrastructure connecting exchanges, wallets and financial institutions.

The launch comes as stablecoin usage continues to grow while banking infrastructure evolves to support institutional adoption. Data cited by the companies from Bessemer Venture Partners shows real-world stablecoin payments doubled to $400bn during 2025, with business-to-business activity including corporate treasury, cross-border settlement and payment service provider transactions accounting for around 60% of total volume. AMINA said the partnership is designed to connect clients’ existing wallets and exchange accounts with its regulated banking environment.

The current rollout focuses on verified deposits, but the companies plan to expand the integration to include withdrawals and payouts. Additional functionality, including simplified wallet verification during client onboarding, is also expected later this year. Through AMINA’s B2B2C platform, other financial institutions will also be able to access Mesh’s connectivity within AMINA’s regulated banking framework, supported by built-in compliance and on-chain screening capabilities.

AMINA chief product officer Myles Harrison 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. We intend to extend Mesh’s connectivity to withdrawals and payouts in the future, as we build the infrastructure through which stablecoins and digital assets could move at scale,” he said.

Mesh co-founder and CEO Bam Azizi said, “As the first FINMA-regulated bank to integrate Mesh, AMINA is proving how digital assets can move through regulated finance — verification and compliance handled natively. We’re proud to provide the connectivity that makes it possible.”

AMINA global head of B2B2C and managing director Dr Sebastian Preil said, “Beyond the direct benefit for our professional investor and corporate clients, this partnership matters for any regulated institution entering crypto. Banks exploring stablecoin services face a practical challenge: how do you verify a client’s on-chain footprint alongside their traditional financial profile? Through our B2B2C platform, financial institutions can access Mesh’s connectivity through AMINA’s regulated banking framework, with compliance and on-chain screening infrastructures already in place.”
