A Swiss SRO (Self-Regulatory Organisation) membership is the primary regulatory authorisation for financial intermediaries operating in Switzerland under the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA). Issued through VQF, one of Switzerland’s leading FINMA-recognised SROs, the membership permits entities to conduct virtual asset and payment-related activities in a well-regulated, stable jurisdiction.
This entity is an AG incorporated in Zug in 2025 and admitted to VQF in February 2026. Its corporate purpose covers financial intermediation services in connection with digital assets and payment solutions, including advisory, technology, and management services. The company has no prior transactional or client-facing activity and presents a clean regulatory history. The local director and AML officer are expected to remain in place post-transfer, allowing the buyer to commence operations immediately.
The following activities fall within the current SRO membership scope:
- FIAT/Crypto and Crypto/FIAT exchange
- Cross-Border Payment and Settlement
- Crypto Custody
Note: Additional activities may be added to the SRO scope subject to VQF approval.
1. Immediate Market Entry
Acquire a licensed AG and commence operations without the 3–6 month VQF application timeline and associated setup costs. Ownership transfer typically completes within 2–4 weeks.
2. Local Director and AML Officer Retained
The existing local director and AML officer are expected to remain in place post-transfer, eliminating the need for the buyer to immediately source and onboard key compliance personnel.
3. Established Compliance Infrastructure
AML officer and AML auditor are in place. The company has a clean history with no clients, no transactions, and no prior regulatory findings or sanctions.
4. Zug Incorporation
Registered in Zug, the heart of Switzerland’s Crypto Valley, offering access to a dense ecosystem of blockchain firms, legal advisors, and financial service providers, as well as strong institutional recognition.
5. Expandable Scope
Additional activities may be added to the VQF membership post-transfer, subject to VQF approval.
6. Non-Resident Shareholder and Director Permitted
The AG structure permits non-resident shareholders and board members. The current local manager with individual signing authority provides the mandatory Swiss nexus, giving the buyer full structural flexibility.
