AMINA becomes first regulated bank to integrate Mesh for crypto deposits

AMINA Bank AG, the Swiss crypto bank regulated by FINMA, has become the first regulated bank to integrate Mesh, the crypto payments network that connects more than 300 wallets, exchanges and financial platforms. For PSPs and banks watching the stablecoin stack, the useful bit is not the press-release gloss: AMINA is putting verified crypto deposits inside a regulated banking workflow.

  1. AMINA has integrated Mesh’s verified deposit technology into its online banking platform. Clients can verify ownership of their wallets and transfer stablecoins and other digital assets directly into the bank through a single workflow, without manual wallet address entry or the usual external verification steps.
  2. The bank says the rollout currently focuses on verified deposits, but withdrawals and payouts are next. AMINA also expects additional functionality later this year, including simplified wallet verification during client onboarding. Through AMINA’s B2B2C platform, other financial institutions will also be able to access Mesh’s connectivity inside AMINA’s regulated banking framework, with built-in compliance and on-chain screening capabilities.
  3. AMINA, founded in 2018, holds a Swiss banking and securities dealer licence from FINMA, plus 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. Mesh, founded in 2020, builds digital asset payment infrastructure connecting exchanges, wallets and financial institutions.
  4. The companies cited Bessemer Venture Partners data showing real-world stablecoin payments doubled to $400bn during 2025. Business-to-business activity — including corporate treasury, cross-border settlement and payment service provider transactions — accounted for around 60% of total volume. That is the part the market should care about, because it is where regulated rails start to matter more than crypto-native convenience.

AMINA chief product officer Myles Harrison said depositing into a bank has traditionally required wallet-signing on external platforms and multi-step manual address verification. His point, stripped of the marketing layer, is that bank-grade crypto deposits still need fewer clicks if they are going to behave like normal banking products. AMINA’s bet is that verified deposits are the first step, and that withdrawals and payouts can follow once the plumbing is in place.
