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.
