  Crypto-Backed Loans Credit & Lombard

  FINMA private-bank Lombard against BTC/ETH in segregated Taurus-PROTECT custody.

  Fiat liquidity against Bitcoin or Ethereum held in the client's segregated, off-balance-sheet custody account. Published loan-to-value up to 40%. The bank describes the use case as real-estate acquisition or portfolio diversification inside a FINMA private-banking relationship — structured Lombard credit, not a crypto-native cash-advance desk.

Digital-asset lending is a Swiss private-banking product. The group has an in-principle ADGM advisory licence (not a live lending booking centre) and a Lebanon banking subsidiary that is not this crypto-loan book. Pages on arabbank.ch are not an offer in every jurisdiction — confirm nationality and residence with the bank before applying.

FINMA bank KYC/AML and sanctions screening, plus source-of-wealth and source-of-funds on how the crypto was acquired. The bank names entrepreneurs, miners, long-term holders, traders, family offices, foundations and institutions as the digital-assets clientele. Collateral is Bitcoin or Ethereum in Taurus-PROTECT on-premise custody (FIPS Level 3; ISAE 3402 Type II on key generation and key management), fully segregated per client and held off-balance sheet. No public self-serve minimum or APR — LTV and size are set by the desk (published LTV ceiling 40%). Mixer, high-risk P2P or sanctioned-platform history is a Swiss-bank rejection, not a remediation product.
