From SEBA to AMINA: Swiss-Regulated Crypto Bank Rebrands

<p>The Swiss crypto bank SEBA Bank AG has rebranded to
AMINA Bank AG. This move, which was announced on November 30, 2023, has been
described by the company as a new era of potential growth for its clients
globally. </p><p>Franz Bergmueller, the CEO of AMINA Bank AG, mentioned in a statement on Businesswire: "While we say
goodbye to the SEBA name, we remain forever proud of the achievements made by
the group under the former brand. Our brand signifies a new era in the
company's growth and strategy; we are a key player in crypto banking and are
here to define the future of finance."</p><p>SEBA Targets Strategic Crypto Hubs </p><p>The word AMINA is derived from
"transAMINAtion", which symbolizes the financial
aspects of traditional, digital, and crypto banking, the company said. AMINA
Bank plans to strengthen its strategic hubs in <a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/tag/switzerland/" target="_blank" rel="follow">Switzerland</a>, Hong Kong, and Abu
Dhabi in 2024. The company noted that the rebranding will not affect the
services offered to the existing customers. </p><p>However, the subsidiaries in Hong Kong, Singapore,
and Abu Dhabi will align their names to that of the head office in Zug to have a
unified identity across the institution.</p><blockquote><p lang="en" dir="ltr">SEBA Bank rebrands to AMINA Bank and continues to write its success story <a href="https://t.co/eYu3sxKUFq">https://t.co/eYu3sxKUFq</a> <a href="https://t.co/EJrLVnAVv0">pic.twitter.com/EJrLVnAVv0</a></p>— Latest News from Business Wire (@NewsFromBW) <a href="https://twitter.com/NewsFromBW/status/1730376938613801199?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 1, 2023</a></blockquote><p>In August, SEBA achieved a significant milestone in
