As per recent reports of a crypto media outlet, Santander Private Banking International is now offering its wealthy institutional clients Swiss account trading and investing in major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.&nbsp;
The recent updates about the offering states that the bank is planning to offer additional cryptocurrencies that meet the bank’s screening criteria. As per the bank, services will only be offered upon the request of clients through relationship managers.
However the assets will be held in a regulated custody model in which the bank stores the private crypto keys in a protected and encrypted environment. Most recently the Commerzbank became the first “full-services” and secured the operation license from the German regulator under German Banking Act.
The crypto custody license will allow banks to offer custody crypto assets and “ future digital asset services” in future.&nbsp;
As per market analysts, this move will help the bank to gather a massive user base in Switzerland. Clearly, its major target audience in the initial phase is multi Millionaires and institutional investor helding accounts in Swiss banks.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
