About us

Welcome to Sygnum, the world's first digital asset bank, and a digital asset specialist with global reach

Sygnum was rooted from the start in the financial hubs of Switzerland and Singapore. From this heritage, we grew to be the first digital asset specialist with both a Swiss banking licence and a Singapore asset management licence. We harness the power of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) to systematically and holistically embed digital assets into regulated banking.

Our clients believe in the value of digital assets to create new business opportunities and transform the financial industry. They want the security provided by a regulated bank, and the tech-driven innovation and agility of a global digital asset specialist. At Sygnum, we empower institutional and private qualified investors, corporates, banks and other financial institutions to invest in the emerging digital asset economy with complete trust.

We call the emergence of a trusted, secure and efficient digital asset economy Future Finance. Every day, our team of digital asset experts are working towards Future Finance by leveraging the advantages of DLT to serve our clients with innovative products and services.
