AMINA Bank taps Notabene to enhance digital asset compliance

By Vriti Gothi

Crypto compliance technology provider Notabene has partnered with Switzerland-based AMINA Bank to enhance transaction infrastructure between digital assets and traditional financial systems, as regulatory expectations converge across the two sectors.

AMINA Bank, a Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA)-regulated crypto bank serving clients in more than 40 countries, will integrate Notabene’s platform to streamline compliance with the Crypto Travel Rule. The collaboration aims to address operational challenges that arise when value moves between blockchain-based networks and conventional banking rails.

As digital assets become increasingly embedded in institutional portfolios, regulatory standards originally designed for traditional finance are being extended to virtual asset service providers (VASPs). The Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) Recommendation 16 commonly referred to in the crypto sector as the Travel Rule requires the transmission of originator and beneficiary information for certain transactions, creating a shared compliance baseline across banking and crypto ecosystems.

While regulatory alignment has advanced, implementation across distinct infrastructures remains complex. Crypto-native systems and traditional banking workflows differ significantly in their architecture, counterparties and settlement mechanisms, complicating the consistent application of counterparty due diligence and transaction transparency standards.

Under the partnership, Notabene will provide secure information exchange and transaction transparency tools to support AMINA Bank’s Travel Rule compliance processes. The integration is designed to enable more automated and streamlined compliance workflows across both digital asset and fiat transactions.

“As institutional portfolios increasingly include crypto alongside traditional holdings, clients require infrastructure that works across both environments without creating compliance friction,” said Myles Harrison, Chief Product Officer at AMINA Bank. “Integrating Notabene’s technology allows us to provide a more streamlined compliance framework that reduces operational friction, allowing clients to transact between crypto and traditional finance with ease.”

The partnership reflects broader industry efforts to build interoperable compliance frameworks as banks and crypto-native firms seek to support regulated digital asset activity within existing financial structures. As institutional participation in digital assets grows, the ability to operationalise regulatory requirements across hybrid transaction flows is increasingly viewed as critical to scaling cross-border and cross-asset financial services.
