As a smart bank, AMINA Bank offers a fully universal suite of regulated banking services in the emerging digital economy.

The broad, vertically integrated spectrum of services combined with the highest security standards makes AMINA Bank’s value proposition unique - this is why Banque de France selected AMINA Bank to test the integration of Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). CVVC Global Report and CB Insights names AMINA Bank as one of the Top 50 Companies within the blockchain ecosystem.
