Firma Announces Swiss Licensing Milestone

Hey everyone,

We’ve got some good news. Firma Operations AG is now officially a licensed financial intermediary and SRO-member in Switzerland.

Okay… what does that actually mean? Let’s keep it simple.

Switzerland has a strong financial authority called FINMA. An SRO is their recognized self-regulatory framework for companies like ours. Becoming a member means we can operate under clear, respected standards. We can keep building fast and freely with real legitimacy and structure behind us.

Why Switzerland?

It’s one of the most stable and trusted places in the world for handling money, freedom, data privacy and blockchain companies. The rules here are solid without being overly restrictive, which lets us move quickly while doing things the right way.

What this means for your day-to-day

If you’ve been on firma.cash, you already know what we’re about: instant zero-fee payments that arrive anywhere in the world, wallets in digital USD, EUR, CHF, precious metals, easy swaps between normal money and digital assets, and — most importantly — you stay in full control of your funds. No bank delays, no hidden fees, no one freezing your account. Just better money for freelancers, businesses, families sending cash abroad, or anyone tired of the traditional system.

What this unlocks next

This license isn’t about showing off. It’s about building something that lasts. It doesn’t restrict what we can offer... it actually gives us the proper approvals to legally expand with bigger and better features, like a regulated digital asset exchange, precious metals such as gold, debit card issuance, and more tools that make managing money simpler for you.

Why checks still matter

Of course, being licensed includes basic identity checks. We know these steps can feel annoying, but they’re there for an important reason: to keep serious bad actors away, such as terrorist financing, drug money, sanctions or other illegal activity. Your personal information stays private, is never sold, and is handled safely according to Swiss data protection standards.

Bottom line

We're the same Firma you know — instant, free, self-custodial, and focused on normal people — with a Swiss license to grow responsibly and keep your trust.
