Affiliated with SO-FIT under number 1386. SO-FIT is a self-regulatory organisation recognised by FINMA, accredited for the supervision of financial intermediaries and trustees.
Framework & trust
Our status is public, verifiable and stable. This page sets it out in full: the company's legal identity, its affiliation with a body recognised by FINMA, and the controls that govern every transaction. Transparency is the rule here, and the starting point of every relationship.
The framework
Affiliated with SO-FIT under number 1386. SO-FIT is a self-regulatory organisation recognised by FINMA, accredited for the supervision of financial intermediaries and trustees.
Federal Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA), its implementing Ordinance (AMLO) and the FINMA Ordinance (AMLO-FINMA). The due diligence obligations set out in Articles 3 to 9 AMLA shape day-to-day operations.
AlphaBridge is subject to an annual independent AMLA audit performed by an audit firm approved by SO-FIT. The report is forwarded to the SRO and retained in accordance with regulatory requirements.
Swiss architecture
A clear supervision chain, from the federal legislator to the body that oversees AlphaBridge.
Votes and adapts the federal laws (AMLA, BankA, FinSA, FinIA) governing the financial sector.
Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority. Grants banking licences, supervises markets and recognises self-regulatory organisations.
Self-regulatory organisation recognised by FINMA. Supervises affiliated financial intermediaries and trustees, including AlphaBridge Sàrl under number 1386.
Day to day
Identification of the client and the beneficial owner, verification of the source of funds and risk classification. Enhanced due diligence applies to institutional clients.
Operational surveillance of transactions, automated controls against international sanctions (EU, OFAC, UN, SECO) and lists of politically exposed persons.
In case of suspicion of money laundering or terrorist financing, reporting in accordance with Art. 9 AMLA via the Swiss Money Laundering Reporting Office (MROS) and the goAML platform.
Swiss financial law is steadily clarifying the treatment of digital assets, from FinIA to the Distributed Ledger Technology Act (DLT Act). In parallel, the European MiCA regulation is harmonising the EU market. AlphaBridge tracks these developments and adapts its procedures as they unfold: the framework strengthens, the standard stays the same.
AlphaBridge Sàrl operates as a financial intermediary, not as a bank within the meaning of the Federal Banking Act (BankA): it does not accept deposits from the public, and assets are not covered by the esisuisse guarantee. Stating precisely what our status covers is part of that status.
Digital assets carry their own risks — volatility, liquidity, transaction irreversibility, jurisdictional dimension. The risk disclosure sets them out in full.
A first exchange, in Geneva, covered by Swiss professional secrecy. The time to listen before any commitment.
