GENEVA, April 1 /PRNewswire/
Alpian SA (“Alpian”), an innovative digital private bank, today announced the granting of a banking license from FINMA and the successful completion of a CHF 19 million Series B+. Alpian will shortly, in the third quarter of 2022, be the first digital private bank in Switzerland to go public.
Alpian, majority owned by Fideuram-Intesa Sanpaolo Private Banking, has closed a third round of financing fully underwritten by Fideuram-Intesa Sanpaolo Private Banking. The funding WILL support the launch of Alpian’s service offering in Switzerland, which includes both private banking and online banking.
This hybrid model combines secure, state-of-the-art banking with the support of Alpian’s qualified wealth advisors, giving affluent clients access to services normally reserved for traditional private banking. In addition, Alpian has seamlessly integrated the functions of daily banking into its digital offering.
Alpian CEO Schuyler Weiss commented:
“We have been building Switzerland’s first digital private bank since 2019. With the funds from the B+ series and the new status as a licensed Swiss bank, Alpian is well equipped to launch its offering.”
Pasha Bakhtiar, Partner of REYL Intesa Sanpaolo Board of Directors and Chairman of Alpian added:
“We are proud to have achieved both of these milestones on our journey to become a truly reliable and dependable digital private banking offering. The success so far is a testament to the resilience and dynamism of the Alpian team, as well as the vision of REYL Intesa Sanpaolo.”
