Swiss-based AMINA Bank AG has become the first FINMA-regulated bank to integrate Mesh’s crypto payments network. The move, announced July 16, embeds Mesh’s verified deposit technology directly into AMINA’s online banking platform, letting clients verify wallet ownership and deposit stablecoins without leaving the platform.
The development represents a significant milestone for the Crypto Payments Network, as regulated financial institutions increasingly seek infrastructure that bridges traditional banking with digital assets.
The latest integration places the Crypto Payments Network directly within AMINA’s digital banking platform, eliminating several manual steps that have traditionally complicated cryptocurrency deposits into regulated financial institutions.
Under the new system, customers can verify ownership of their digital wallets and deposit stablecoins or other supported digital assets without copying wallet addresses manually or relying on external verification platforms.
According to the company, the technology supports connectivity with more than 300 wallet providers, reducing friction for both retail and institutional clients.
AMINA said the integration is designed to bring cryptocurrency deposits closer to the experience customers expect from conventional online banking while maintaining regulatory compliance.
Myles Harrison, Chief Product Officer at AMINA, said existing cryptocurrency transfers into regulated banks remain unnecessarily complex despite growing institutional adoption.
“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.” — Myles Harrison, Chief Product Officer, AMINA Bank AG
Harrison explained that clients previously had to complete wallet-signing procedures on external platforms before verifying addresses through multiple manual steps.
“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.” — Myles Harrison, Chief Product Officer, AMINA Bank AG
He added that verified deposits are only the first phase of the partnership, with support for withdrawals and payouts expected in future updates as the Crypto Payments Network expands within AMINA’s infrastructure.
The partnership comes as demand for regulated digital asset payment infrastructure continues to grow, particularly among businesses using stablecoins for commercial transactions.
According to figures cited by AMINA from Bessemer Venture Partners, real-world stablecoin payments doubled to $400 billion in 2025, even as broader cryptocurrency markets experienced weaker performance. The report also noted that roughly 60% of that payment volume originated from business-to-business transactions, including corporate treasury operations, cross-border settlements, and payment service providers.
The companies argue that while adoption has accelerated, regulated banking infrastructure has struggled to keep pace. By integrating the Crypto Payments Network, AMINA aims to close that gap by allowing clients to connect existing cryptocurrency wallets and exchange accounts directly with its regulated banking platform.
Mesh, founded in 2020, has positioned itself as a global infrastructure provider connecting cryptocurrency exchanges, digital wallets, and financial institutions into a unified payment ecosystem.
Bam Azizi, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Mesh, said the partnership demonstrates how digital assets can operate within regulated financial environments.
“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.” — Bam Azizi, Co-Founder and CEO, Mesh
The companies said the integration will become available to AMINA clients soon, with additional features including streamlined wallet verification during client onboarding planned later this year.
Beyond individual customers, AMINA believes the Crypto Payments Network could help financial institutions overcome one of the industry’s most persistent operational challenges: verifying a customer’s blockchain activity alongside traditional banking information.
Dr. Sebastian Preil, Global Head of B2B2C and Managing Director at AMINA, said the partnership is designed to support banks entering the digital asset sector through AMINA’s regulated infrastructure.
According to Preil, institutions exploring stablecoin services frequently encounter practical questions surrounding wallet verification, compliance, and on-chain risk assessments. Through AMINA’s B2B2C platform, partner institutions will be able to access Mesh’s connectivity while relying on compliance systems and blockchain screening already embedded within the bank’s regulated framework.
The announcement also reinforces AMINA’s strategy of expanding regulated cryptocurrency services across multiple jurisdictions. Since its founding in Switzerland in 2018, the bank has secured regulatory approvals in Switzerland, Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong, and Austria, enabling it to offer digital asset services under several financial regulatory regimes.
