AMINA Bank integrates Mesh crypto payments network

AMINA Bank AG announced it has integrated Mesh, making it the first FINMA‑regulated bank to offer verified crypto deposits directly within its online platform, a step that could streamline stable‑coin flows for institutional clients.

At a glance

How the integration works

The Mesh network provides a “verified deposit” workflow that lets AMINA clients confirm wallet ownership and move stablecoins or other digital assets into the bank with a few clicks, eliminating manual address entry and external signing steps that have traditionally slowed crypto deposits. Mesh connects more than 300 wallet providers, exchanges and platforms, enabling a single‑click flow from a client’s on‑chain wallet to the regulated banking environment [1][3].

Market context and implications

Bessemer Venture Partners reports that stablecoin usage doubled to $400 bn in 2025, with roughly 60 % of that volume driven by business‑to‑business transactions such as corporate treasury and cross‑border settlements [1][3]. While stablecoin demand is rising, regulated banking infrastructure has lagged; AMINA’s integration directly addresses that gap by embedding compliance and on‑chain screening into the deposit process. The bank’s broader tokenized‑finance push includes earlier participation in the EU’s 21X blockchain securities platform, signalling a strategic focus on bridging traditional finance and digital assets [2].

Expansion roadmap

Mesh’s roadmap includes extending the integration to support withdrawals and payouts later this year, as well as simplifying wallet verification during client onboarding [1][3]. Through AMINA’s B2B2C platform, other regulated institutions will be able to access Mesh’s connectivity, potentially accelerating the rollout of compliant crypto services across the sector.

What to watch

• Launch of Mesh‑enabled withdrawals and payouts, expected in the latter half of 2026.
• Adoption metrics: number of client wallets linked to Mesh and volume of stablecoin deposits processed.
• Regulatory developments in Switzerland or the EU that could affect the scope of FINMA‑regulated crypto banking services.

The integration marks a tangible step toward reducing friction between on‑chain assets and regulated finance, but its broader impact will hinge on how quickly institutions adopt the new workflow and whether further regulatory clarity expands the range of services banks can safely offer.
