Private. Corporate. Treasury.
Forestis combines senior AML judgement with AI-assisted review. Multi-currency accounts, international payments and FX from Zug, with one senior officer who knows your business and picks up the phone. Our systems read, check and prepare; your officer decides.
Services
| Service | What you get | Typical case |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-currency accounts | CHF, EUR, USD and GBP accounts in your company's name, with SEPA, SWIFT and domestic rails. Statements and balances in one place. | Group treasury with entities in three or more jurisdictions |
| International payments | Outgoing and incoming payments to counterparties worldwide, with a named officer who clears large or first-time payments personally and keeps your regular ones moving. | Supplier and buyer payments across the US, Asia and the Gulf |
| Foreign exchange | Spot and forward FX on your instruction, executed through partner banks and settled straight into your accounts. | Receivables in USD, costs in CHF |
| Counterparty pre-clearance | Your buyers, suppliers and group entities are reviewed once at onboarding so recurring payments to them do not wait for a fresh review. | Hundreds of monthly payments to a stable partner base |
| Accounts for demanding structures | Layered ownership, trusts, foundations, non-European parents or sensitive sectors. We open the account others decline, and keep it open. | Operating companies whose sector or shareholder base has been turned away elsewhere |
Approach
Most corporate accounts are run by a relationship manager who cannot decide and a compliance team you never meet. At Forestis the two are the same person: a senior officer who knows your business, opens your account, clears your payments and answers your calls. Our systems do the reading so that person has time for you.
One named senior officer owns your relationship from inquiry to payment. You explain your structure once, to someone who can say yes. No relationship manager relaying questions from a compliance team you never meet.
Everything you provide is read, cross-checked and mapped within hours, so you get one complete list of what is still needed on day one instead of a new request every week. Fewer rounds, fewer surprises, and a payment that is not held because someone has not read the file yet.
Counterparties and payment patterns are cleared once, at onboarding. Routine payments to known partners then execute without a fresh review each time. Only what is new or unusual comes back to the officer.
Legal segregation
Forestis does not take deposits and does not lend. Client money is held in segregated accounts with us, in your name or in a fiduciary account designated for you.
Who we serve
Commodity traders, shipping-linked businesses and exporters with counterparties across several supervisory regimes.
Companies whose products, licences or customers make other providers hesitate, including government supply chains. We understand the business and bank it.
Parents in Asia, the Gulf, the Americas or Africa seeking a Swiss payment base with a compliance file that holds up anywhere.
Groups with hundreds of monthly cross-border payments that need pre-cleared counterparties rather than per-payment friction.
We serve companies and the people behind them. Complexity is welcome.
In partnership with Atrinum Group
Forestis is part of Atrinum Group, Zug. Where a payment relationship needs a company, a licence or an operating back office first, Atrinum delivers it and Forestis onboards the result. One counterparty, one case file. Full company structures go live in weeks, not quarters.
| Atrinum service | What it covers | Where it meets Forestis |
|---|---|---|
| Regulatory solution | Assessment of which licence, if any, your business model needs. Set-up and operation of asset-management, portfolio-management and payment-service licences, including VASP and crypto registrations. | Before onboarding: structures that need a licence get one first. |
| Company and domicile | Swiss incorporation, registered office, board and directorship services, commercial-register filings. | Week 1 of the journey above. |
| Compliance and ATR.kyc.suite | Proprietary AML/KYC tooling and compliance process design; the same stack behind Forestis case review. | Your file is built once and reused for every Forestis decision. |
| Banking and finance partners | Account-bank, correspondent and payment-partner network selected for your currencies and corridors. | Segregated client accounts and rails for your currencies. |
| Operations | Accounting, reporting, project management and asset management as a service. | Ongoing phase: monthly closing and regulatory reporting. |
| Funds and AMC solutions | Actively managed certificates with ISIN, Luxembourg SCSp and RAIF structures, AIFM fund set-up and tokenisation. | Treasury surplus or investor capital routed into a supervised vehicle. |
Atrinum services are contracted separately with the relevant Atrinum entity. Forestis compliance decisions remain independent of any Atrinum mandate.

In this draft the form does not transmit. In production it will route to the compliance inbox and create a case reference.
