Aurum Reserve was founded in 2021 by a small group of bankers, cryptographers, and regulators who believed the two industries had been talking past each other for long enough.
For a decade the choice was: keep your digital assets with an exchange that was, charitably, an exchange — or keep them with a bank that didn't know what to do with them.
Aurum exists because neither answer is good enough. We hold a Wyoming Special Purpose Depository Institution charter, a framework written specifically to let a chartered, full-reserve bank serve digital-asset clients under the same prudential standards as any other depository. We are the bank our founders wished existed when they were running custody at Anchorage, risk at the OCC, and treasury at Stripe.
What we are not: a brokerage, a market maker, a hedge fund, a lending desk, or a stablecoin issuer. The bank's only business is custody, sweep, and settlement — for individuals, businesses, and the institutions that serve them.
