0%DBS and Avaloq deepen alliance to drive Asian wealth growth. October 5, 2026 DBS, the Singapore-headquartered bank with a leading wealth franchise, has agreed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with wealth management technology provider Avaloq to broaden a relationship that stretches back 18 years, with the aim of building new wealth capabilities for clients and advisers throughout Asia. The collaboration will focus on three areas: enterprise growth, co-innovation and an exchange designed to build capabilities. Under the agreement, the two firms will look at rolling out the Avaloq platform more widely across the markets and business lines in which DBS operates, adapting it to the requirements of each market. They will also consider co-developing solutions covering digital platforms, products, execution and new models for how wealth management could work in future. The deal forms part of the bank's target of reaching SGD 1 trillion in retail and wealth assets under management by 2030. A central part of that plan is boosting the capacity and skills of the advisers and specialists who serve customers at every stage of their wealth journey. The move comes as appetite for professional investment guidance in Asia climbs, while the sector struggles with a severe shortage of talent. Around 70% of investors currently have a dedicated wealth adviser, and more than 40% of those without one say they would welcome having one, Avaloq said. As wealth builds, firms will need to expand their front and back office workforces and also use technology, data and closer ecosystem partnerships to make each employee more effective. DBS and Avaloq also plan to draw on the bank's people and the technology firm's WealthTech know-how to support skills development and the sharing of expertise. Possible initiatives include learning programmes, knowledge-sharing sessions, cross-functional exchanges and wider engagement with the industry. DBS group executive and head of consumer banking and wealth management Shee Tse Koon said, "Avaloq has been a critical enabler for our wealth management operations for the past 18 years. This latest partnership brings together DBS' wealth and investment expertise with Avaloq's platform and data capabilities to co-create solutions that can swiftly address the evolving needs of our customers and advisers. "By deepening capabilities across the wealth continuum, we can give our advisers greater capacity for the judgment that matters and help more customers put their money to work. This is how we intend to set the pace as Asia's wealth market grows." Avaloq group CEO Martin Greweldinger said, "We are excited to begin a new chapter in our partnership with DBS and build on 18 years of shared success. Together, we plan to expand into new markets, deepen coverage across business lines, co-create the next generation of wealth technology and equip tomorrow's wealth-management talent with the skills needed for an increasingly AI-enabled industry. This shared ambition will help extend high-quality investment capabilities to a broader and more diverse client base." Enjoying the stories? Investors.

CA next bank updates mobile app with Avaloq tech. The app launched on 14 September following a pilot programme conducted by CA next bank. Tyler Pathe, Senior Reporter, FinTech Futures September 21, 2026 CA next bank has launched a new mobile banking app developed in partnership with Avaloq, making it the first bank in Switzerland to deploy this specific software from the domestic technology provider. Avaloq states that the app update, launched on 14 September, can be used by CA next bank customers to access day-to-day banking services, as well as tools for making payments, scanning PDF QR-bills, and managing investments. The split architecture used to develop the app separates the front-end user interface from back-end systems, a structure Avaloq states is intended to let CA next bank "introduce new features more quickly while maintaining stability across its digital channels". CA next bank completed a pilot programme of the app prior to its release into general availability. Avaloq plans to use data from this initial deployment to modify the software for other banking clients in the future. Other clients in Switzerland include cantonal banks Basellandschaftliche Kantonalbank, Thurgauer Kantonalbank, Basler Kantonalbank, and St. Galler Kantonalbank, which all developed new mobile banking services with Avaloq in June. CA next bank, headquartered in Geneva, has operated as a retail subsidiary under the Crédit Agricole group since 2000 and currently supports over 70,000 clients, according to its website. Senior Reporter, FinTech Futures Tyler Pathe is a financial reporter, moderator and investigator with a specific interest in financial technology, banking and the financial industry's latest innovations.

Swiss Bank BancaStato Brings Bitcoin and Ether Trading Into Its Banking App. BancaStato has launched regulated crypto trading through Sygnum and Avaloq, letting clients buy and hold Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin and Solana inside its banking app. By Ravi Kumar July 23, 2026 Updated:July 23, 2026 No Comments 6 Mins Read Swiss Bank BancaStato Brings Bitcoin and Ether Trading Into Its Banking App. Image source: BancaStato. Swiss Bank BancaStato has started offering regulated cryptocurrency trading to clients through a partnership with Sygnum and banking software provider Avaloq. This brings another Swiss lender to the group of banks embedding digital assets inside existing online banking systems. The Ticino cantonal bank has connected Sygnum's business-to-business API with Avaloq's core banking and digital banking channels. The integration allows BancaStato clients to buy, hold and sell Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin and Solana directly through the bank's web and mobile banking applications, without using a separate crypto exchange or external wallet. The rollout is notable because BancaStato is using Sygnum's API directly inside Avaloq's software-as-a-service environment. According to Sygnum, BancaStato is the first bank on Avaloq's SaaS environment to let clients buy, hold and sell crypto through Sygnum's API from within its e-banking platforms. That matters because much of bank crypto adoption has so far been blocked not by client demand, but by plumbing. Banks need regulated custody, trading execution, compliance controls, risk management and integration with legacy core banking systems. A direct API model can reduce the need for a separate order management system, lowering operational complexity and shortening the path to launch. "We are proud to welcome BancaStato to our fast-growing B2B network, which illustrates the growing demand for Sygnum's regulated, API-driven digital asset services that integrate directly into existing core banking systems," Fritz Jost, Sygnum's Chief B2B Officer, said in a statement shared with AlexaBlockchain. "BancaStato, becoming the first bank on Avaloq's SaaS environment to enable clients to buy, hold and sell crypto via API with Sygnum directly from within its e-banking platforms, marks a significant step in the maturity and scalability of regulated digital asset infrastructure," Fritz added. BancaStato, formally Banca dello Stato del Cantone Ticino, is the cantonal bank serving Ticino in southern Switzerland. The bank and its private banking affiliate Axion SWISS Bank renewed their Avaloq Core Platform agreement in 2023, with Avaloq saying at the time that both institutions used Avaloq's platform in a SaaS model and its banking operations offering. For clients, the immediate change is access. They can place market orders by quantity or dollar value inside existing e-banking and mobile banking channels. Sygnum will provide the execution and custody layer, while BancaStato keeps the front-end relationship with clients. Client assets will be held through Sygnum's custody infrastructure and kept off-balance sheet, according to the announcement. That structure is important in Switzerland because it is intended to give clients legal and regulatory protection if a custodian becomes insolvent, although crypto assets remain volatile and can lose value sharply. The launch also extends Sygnum's bank-to-bank strategy. Sygnum said in 2024 that its B2B partners included PostFinance, Zuger Kantonalbank, Luzerner Kantonalbank, VZ Depotbank, PKB, SocGen Forge, Bordier and Bison Digital Assets, and that those partners collectively gave more than a third of Switzerland's population access to digital assets through partner banks. PostFinance is one of the more visible examples. The Swiss financial institution launched a crypto offering with Sygnum in 2024 for its 2.5 million customers, allowing users to access crypto through PostFinance's own e-finance and app channels. In May 2026, PostFinance expanded the service to corporate clients, allowing them to trade 22 cryptocurrencies and stake Ethereum directly through e-finance or the PostFinance app. Those launches show how Swiss bank crypto adoption is shifting from standalone experiments to embedded banking services. Instead of asking clients to move funds to a crypto-native venue, banks are trying to keep the account, trading interface and custody relationship inside their existing regulated perimeter. BancaStato's launch comes shortly after Sygnum Europe received a Crypto-Asset Service Provider licence in Liechtenstein under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation. Sygnum said the licence, announced on June 30, allows it to expand its regulated platform and bank-to-bank infrastructure into the European market as MiCAR's transition period ends. The timing is significant. MiCAR gives crypto-asset service providers a harmonized licensing framework across the European Union, making it easier for banks to evaluate regulated partners rather than build digital-asset infrastructure from scratch in each market. Sygnum has been building around that model for years. The company received a banking and securities dealer licence from Switzerland's financial regulator FINMA in 2019, one of the first such licences granted to blockchain-focused financial institutions in the country. It has also grown financially. Sygnum reached a $1 billion valuation in 2025 after raising $58 million, with Reuters reporting that the company planned to use the funds to expand in Europe and Hong Kong and invest in infrastructure and products. The BancaStato deal fits into a broader Swiss push to connect traditional banking infrastructure with digital assets. In April 2026, UBS, PostFinance, Sygnum, Raiffeisen, Zürcher Kantonalbank and BCV joined a sandbox project to test a Swiss-franc stablecoin, with the goal of exploring how blockchain applications could connect to the Swiss franc. Swiss banks have also tested blockchain-based payment infrastructure. In 2025, PostFinance, Sygnum and UBS completed a feasibility study for a binding payment using bank deposits on a public blockchain, according to the Swiss Bankers Association. Market infrastructure is moving in the same direction. FINMA approved BX Digital, a Swiss subsidiary of Boerse Stuttgart, to operate a blockchain-based trading system in 2025, with the platform designed to support tokenized assets and direct settlement using blockchain infrastructure. The result is a more institutional phase of crypto adoption in Switzerland. Earlier cycles were dominated by crypto exchanges, wallets and retail trading apps. The newer phase is being led by banks, software providers and regulated infrastructure firms trying to make crypto access look like another banking function. With this launch, BancaStato adds a digital-asset product line without operating as a crypto exchange. Christian Haux, Avaloq's Managing Director for Switzerland and Liechtenstein, said the project shows how integration can help banks respond faster to investor expectations while keeping services on a unified platform. For BancaStato clients, he said, the service allows them to view and manage digital and traditional portfolios in one place. Swiss banks have shown that regulated crypto access can be embedded into mainstream banking apps. The harder question is whether clients use those services beyond Bitcoin and Ether exposure, and whether banks can turn digital assets into a durable revenue line rather than a defensive product extension.
