SEBA Bank, a Switzerland-based digital assets banking platform, has secured a Financial Service Provider (FSP) registration from Abu Dhabi Global Market’s (ADGM) Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA).
SEBA Bank has opened an office in Abu Dhabi ADGM after receiving this FSP, to better serve its regional partners in the supply of regulated digital asset services. According to the Financial Services and Markets Regulations (FSMR) 2015, the FSP permits SEBA Bank to conduct regulated operations in the ADGM, such as advising on investments or credit, arranging credit and custody, and organizing investment deals.
SEBA Bank, licensed by Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA), will be able to further accelerate its expansion with the opening of an office in Abu Dhabi. In January, SEBA Bank closed a $120 million Series C round enabling continued high-trajectory institutional business growth through further investment in product offering and technology.
