Our Story
CriptoBanc began its journey in 2018 as a simple, non‑custodial cryptocurrency wallet. As the digital asset ecosystem matured, we evolved into a full‑fledged exchange and trading platform, serving a growing community of sophisticated traders. Recognizing the need for institutional-grade security and banking infrastructure, a private economic group with over 30 years of presence in the Kingdom of Bahrain acquired the platform and registered the CriptoBanc trademark in 2020.
In 2021, to provide enhanced trust and security for our private clients, the group acquired a fully licensed financial institution in Switzerland. This entity now operates as our Swiss hub, ensuring compliance with Swiss requirements for fiat on/off ramps and institutional counterparty access. The CriptoBanc brand is a registered trademark owned jointly by two major global financial institutions – the Bahraini parent group and the Swiss banking entity – working in unison to deliver private, decentralized crypto banking services.
Today, our global headquarters are in Manama (Bahrain) and London (United Kingdom). Additional operational hubs in Zurich, Singapore, and Abu Dhabi allow us to provide 24/7 coverage and deep local expertise. All our core operations remain 100% private and decentralized, with the licensed entities functioning only as regulatory vehicles for fiat connectivity and to meet specific institutional requirements.
Our Principles
Private by Design
No public solicitations. We operate on an invitation‑only basis, serving a curated circle of institutions and families.
Decentralized Core
All primary operations run on private, decentralized infrastructure. Licensed entities are used only for fiat rails and institutional compliance.
Global Footprint
Headquarters in Bahrain and London, with operational hubs in Zurich, Singapore, and Abu Dhabi – covering all major time zones.
Institutional Heritage
Backed by a Bahraini group with 30+ years of financial services experience and a Swiss-regulated banking entity.
Client Partnership
We are a long‑term partner, not a vendor. Bespoke solutions, direct access to decision‑makers, and full discretion.
A Truly Private Crypto Bank
CriptoBanc is not a public retail bank. We are a private, decentralized investment group operating through a registered trademark owned by two major global financial institutions. We do not solicit clients through public advertising, and our services are available only by invitation or personal introduction.
Our licensed entities in Switzerland and Bahrain exist exclusively to provide fiat connectivity, institutional counterparty access, and to meet local regulatory requirements where necessary. They do not represent our core operational philosophy, which remains 100% private and decentralized. All client‑facing services – trading, custody, staking, and asset management – are delivered through our proprietary decentralized infrastructure.
