Notabene and AMINA Bank AG have partnered to advance infrastructure for transactions across crypto and traditional financial rails.
The partnership will aim to address the real-world application of Travel Rule requirements across crypto-native infrastructure and regulated banking environments, the companies said.
Notabene’s platform enables secure information exchange and transaction transparency across crypto transactions. AMINA Bank provides banking services across traditional financial and digital assets, serving clients from over 40 countries.
“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.
As DeFi and TradFi continue on a path of convergence, the overlap in regulatory expectations on both sides will continue to grow. However, many institutions are operating on fundamentally different infrastructures.
Standards developed for traditional finance, including FATF’s payment transparency requirements under Recommendation 16, have long been embedded in banking workflows. These expectations have since been extended to virtual assets and VASPs through the Crypto Travel Rule, creating a shared regulatory baseline across the two systems.
“FATF standards are well established in banking, but applying them consistently when value moves between crypto and traditional financial systems is still an open operational challenge,” said Pelle Braendgaard, CEO of Notabene. “AMINA is able to leverage the Notabene platform as a system of record for seamless, trusted transactions as these markets continue to converge.”
