Swiss businesses now have expanded infrastructure to access the digital asset market, following a rollout of PostFinance crypto services for corporate clients.
The expansion allows companies to trade 22 cryptocurrencies and participate in Ethereum staking directly from their standard bank accounts.
The B2B offering is integrated directly into the bank’s e-finance platform and mobile app.
It operates as an execution-only service, mirroring the existing setup for individual retail users but catering to institutional and corporate needs.
As part of this expanded service, corporate users can participate in Ethereum staking.
This mechanism allows businesses to earn rewards on their digital asset holdings by participating in network validation.
PostFinance securely stores all digital assets in Switzerland. This meets the strict regulatory and audit standards required of a systemically important Swiss bank.
An internal survey by PostFinance found that only 14% of Swiss companies have practical experience with digital assets. However, demand is increasing across institutional segments.
“Institutional corporate customers, such as financial institutions, insurance companies, administrations, pension funds and corporations, have a particularly high need,”
said Alexander Thoma, Head of Digital Assets, PostFinance.
“These corporate customers already manage their finances professionally and expect the same standard for digital assets.”
Alongside the corporate rollout, PostFinance has extended its digital asset services to private customers with joint partner accounts.
This allows couples or shared account holders to build a digital asset portfolio together as part of their combined financial planning.
Retail customers using partner accounts can also automate their investments through a savings plan feature. This automated investment option requires a minimum deposit of US$50.
