Cregis and Remi Technology have partnered to provide a security and management infrastructure for a new digital asset network. The initiative aims to facilitate cross-border digital asset transactions for financial institutions by integrating bank-grade compliance and settlement workflows.
Why it matters
The partnership addresses the growing demand for compliant cross-border digital asset settlement by combining banking foundations with specialized security infrastructure. This integration allows financial institutions to handle electronic money tokens while maintaining necessary AML and Travel Rule adherence.
Cregis, which has served 4,000 businesses across 50 countries over nine years, is integrating its security infrastructure with a banking framework that handles stablecoin payments. The broader market for such transactions reached an estimated $226 billion in B2B volume during 2025.
The players
Cregis
A nine-year-old firm providing security and management infrastructure for digital assets.
Remi Technology
A Singapore-based company coordinating settlement workflows for financial institutions.
Bison Bank
A licensed financial institution in Portugal that provides the banking layer for electronic money token issuance.
The details
The network utilizes Cregis's multi-party computation and hardware security modules to secure digital assets while Remi Technology coordinates settlement workflows. Bison Bank provides the banking foundation, enabling the platform to support euro-linked and US dollar-linked tokens alongside mandatory KYC, AML, and Travel Rule compliance monitoring. This tripartite structure ensures that data exchange and transaction screening happen in real time, moving beyond simple wallet management.
Timeline

Market Landscape
Financial services firms are increasingly embedding the FATF Travel Rule directly into the technical architecture of digital asset networks to avoid manual compliance friction. This partnership follows a trend of integrating traditional banking foundations with specialized security to support the rise of electronic money tokens.
Operators in the financial services sector should track how bank-integrated token networks affect their ability to manage cross-border settlement costs and KYC compliance. Evaluate whether current custodial partnerships provide sufficient support for the Travel Rule or if integrated network solutions offer a more scalable path.
The takeaway
The combination of bank-backed tokens and integrated security is becoming the standard for compliant digital asset operations. Financial institutions should monitor the interoperability of these new networks with existing KYC/AML stacks to identify potential efficiency gains in cross-border settlements.
