About AMINA

AMINA is a FINMA-regulated financial institution and a global pioneer in the crypto banking industry. Headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, AMINA merges traditional financial expertise with cutting-edge technology to provide secure banking, trading, and investment services for digital assets.

Digital assets have come of age, and AMINA is on a mission to provide an integrated service that connects them to every other aspect of its clients’ banking needs.

In a market still defining its long-term winners, AMINA has developed a reputation for doing what few others can: bringing credibility, regulatory strength, and institutional infrastructure to one of finance’s most closely watched areas.

AMINA has a habit of moving first. It was the first global bank to support SUI trading and custody, the first to offer boosted rewards to customers staking POL, and more recently, the first fully regulated bank to join the 21X ecosystem as a listing sponsor, coining the #AMINAfirst refrain in the process.

The Challenge

AMINA operates at the intersection of regulated finance and digital assets. As one of the world’s most progressive digital asset banks, the organisation required talent capable of navigating both complex regulation and fast-changing financial technology.

As Switzerland emerged as one of Europe’s most forward-thinking regulatory environments for digital assets, AMINA needed access to specialist professionals who could support growth while protecting the standards expected of a regulated banking institution.

Historically, its recruitment activity had been spread across multiple search firms. This created fragmentation across candidate engagement and made it difficult to communicate the bank’s mission, culture, and long-term strategy consistently to the market.

AMINA needed a partner that could:

Act as a single, centralised point of contact for recruitment delivery
Represent the brand consistently to the external talent market
Build trusted relationships across multiple business functions and hiring teams
Work with precision and provide fast access to niche talent
Support international hiring through specialist financial services expertise

AMINA wanted a partner that could operate as an extension of the business. The passion inside the bank is a fundamental part of its culture, and that needed to be translated clearly to the wider market.

This was a case of moving beyond a transactional recruitment model. AMINA needed a partner that could accurately represent the organisation, communicate the ambition behind the brand, and help candidates understand the opportunity to contribute to a defining chapter in digital asset banking.

AMINA Bank on Working with Trinnovo Group's Broadgate Team

“

Broadgate has become a genuinely integral part of our hiring effort at AMINA. While it sits externally, in practice, Broadgate operates as an extension of our internal talent acquisition team, with a deep and very practical understanding of our business, culture, and the profile of individuals who succeed here.

What distinguishes Callum and the Broadgate team is their ability to identify candidates who are not only technically strong but also well aligned with the demands of operating at the intersection of regulated banking and digital assets. That nuance is critical in our environment and comes from sustained, hands-on exposure to the organisation and its leadership.

The team works seamlessly alongside our internal talent function, augmenting our efforts with strong market reach and insight, and representing AMINA consistently and credibly to external candidates. This has enabled us to engage highly specialised talent pools effectively while maintaining the standards we expect.

Broadgate’s network across Switzerland, the broader DACH region and the UK has been instrumental in supporting our hiring across markets. Just as importantly, they understand how to position AMINA in a way that resonates with the type of individuals we are looking to attract.

Their contribution goes well beyond a typical agency relationship. Broadgate is a trusted partner in our hiring strategy and plays a critical role in our ability to attract and secure the talent we need globally.

The Partnership

Trinnovo Group identified AMINA early as a business acutely aligned with the expertise of its integrated financial department and its expanding presence in Switzerland’s digital asset ecosystem.

01.

On-the-ground engagement

Our team invested significant time into meeting stakeholders on the ground in Switzerland, including members of the executive committee, board representatives, and hiring leaders across different business functions.

02.

Embedded relationship building

This commitment to face-to-face engagement has continued throughout the partnership, helping Trinnovo Group’s integrated financial department build a strong and lasting understanding of AMINA’s business and hiring needs.

03.

Global account leadership

Our dedicated Account Director, Callum Dudrenec, regularly visits AMINA’s global offices, strengthening relationships and developing a detailed understanding of the organisation’s culture, technical requirements, and long-term growth plans, while working closely with AMINA’s strong internal talent team.

As the relationship developed, Trinnovo Group began supporting AMINA’s hiring objectives across the full breadth of the business:

Chief Client Office

Chief Compliance Office

Chief Executive Office

Chief Financial Office

Chief Operating Office

Chief Product Office

Chief Risk Office

Chief Technology Office

Precision Hiring: Scalable and Relationship-Led

Trinnovo Group’s understanding of AMINA has translated into a highly precise hiring process.

By building close relationships across the business, the team has been able to identify candidates who are genuinely aligned with the bank’s technical requirements, culture, and long-term direction. This approach prioritises speed and quality over volume, ensuring that shortlists are focused, relevant, and commercially useful.

This saves time for hiring teams and reduces the operational and commercial risk that comes with poor-fit candidate pipelines.

The strength of the relationship is what drives the quality of delivery, and the wider Trinnovo Group structure is what allows that delivery to scale.

Through its integrated financial services department, Trinnovo Group can draw on specialist capability from across the wider business to support AMINA across multiple functions, regions, and seniority levels, while maintaining the consistency and focus the partnership depends on.
