Sygnum15/16Crypto-nativeSolidnoneYes, but only for qualified investors, companies and institutions. Sygnum does not take retail clients.
AMINA Bank15/16Crypto-nativeSolidnoneYes, but only for professional clients and companies. Individuals need CHF 500,000 in assets plus finance experience, or CHF 2 million.
Swissquote15/16NeobankSolidStrictYes, with fenced on-chain flows: crypto comes in only from six named exchanges or your own wallet, and never goes out to an exchange.
Bank Frick13/16Crypto-nativeSolidnoneYes for crypto businesses, intermediaries and wealthy private clients. No walk-in retail.
Bitcoin Suisse11/16Crypto-nativeSolidnoneYes, for people with CHF 50,000 or more. It is a crypto broker and custodian, not a deposit bank.
