Aragon eXeed guides banks, financial intermediaries and digital asset firms from strategic direction-setting through to the dialogue with the regulator. In Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria and Germany.
About Aragon eXeed
Aragon eXeed combines the governance discipline of a global bank with the operational reality of regulated digital asset firms. We structure, document and deliver: from the risk management framework through the AML architecture to the licence application with FINMA or the FMA. Selective. Independent. Committed.
Three reasons for Aragon eXeed
18 years of Enterprise Risk Management at Executive Director level with Credit Suisse and UBS. Plus building a MiCAR-regulated digital asset exchange in Liechtenstein with personal board responsibility, from incorporation to the authorisation process with the FMA. Knowing both worlds operationally means translating faster between business model and regulator.
At the core, senior leadership and delivery experience. Around it, a curated network of specialised law firms, RegTech providers and subject matter experts in Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria and Germany. You hold one conversation, we orchestrate the rest.
We stay on board until the result stands: frameworks that work in daily operations, applications that get approved, and reports that hold up before executive management, the board and the regulator.
“The measure of good governance is the quality of the decisions it enables. That is the standard we hold ourselves to.”
Michael Bumb, Founder and Managing Director
Two application worlds
Traditional financial markets and digital assets follow the same logic of governance, risk and compliance. What differs are supervisory regimes, pace and tools. We are at home in both worlds and translate between them.
Banks, asset managers and financial intermediaries under FINMA and FMA supervision. What counts here is experience with supervisory expectations and structures that hold up in audit routine.
Crypto service providers, FinTechs and banks with digital asset ambitions under MiCAR and AMLA. What counts here is speed, tool competence and a direct line to the regulator.

Focus

We have been through this transition operationally and support licensing, compliance architecture and tool calibration first-hand.
