As of 1 July 2026, Celsion Bank AG has become a full member of the Liechtenstein Bankers Association (LBA). With its clear focus on digital assets, Celsion Bank combines traditional banking with digital asset services in a fully regulated environment. The membership sends a joint signal of the diversity, openness and innovative strength of Liechtenstein’s financial centre.
Membership with a Signal
By joining the Association, Celsion Bank becomes a full member of the LBA. For the LBA, the admission further strengthens the breadth and diversity of its membership. For Celsion Bank, the membership marks an important step in contributing actively to the industry dialogue and playing an even greater role in the further development of Liechtenstein's financial centre.
"The admission of Celsion Bank represents much more than welcoming a new member. It is a strong signal of the diversity, openness and innovative strength of Liechtenstein's financial centre," says Simon Tribelhorn, CEO of the LBA. "Celsion Bank brings a clear and distinctive profile to our Association and demonstrates how Liechtenstein combines stability and trust with openness to new technologies and business models."
Regulated Innovation as a Shared Principle
Celsion Bank is committed to combining traditional banking with digital asset services within a regulated environment. Its membership also reflects a broader development that is of strategic importance to the future of Liechtenstein's financial centre: innovation should not stand in opposition to stability and trust, but rather be built upon clear rules, professionalism and reliable regulatory frameworks.
"The Membership of the LBA is an important step for us. Following the successful establishment of the bank and the commencement of our operations, the full membership of the LBA is the next logical step in enabling us to actively contribute our experience and know-how to the further development of Liechtenstein's financial centre. The open and professional exchange within the Association is of great value to us," says Markus Federspiel, CEO of Celsion Bank. "Liechtenstein offers a framework that successfully combines innovation with regulation. For a bank with a clear focus on digital assets, this combination is essential," Federspiel adds.
Working Together to Strengthen Liechtenstein's Financial Centre
The LBA and Celsion Bank look forward to further strengthening their collaboration, building on the existing relationship established through Celsion Bank's previous associate membership. At the heart of this partnership lies the shared ambition of further developing Liechtenstein's financial centre as a credible, competitive and forward-looking financial hub. The membership also underlines the financial centre's commitment to stability, trust and high regulatory standards while remaining open to new technologies, business models and evolving client needs.
"The strengths of our financial centre are not static. They must continuously evolve alongside new technologies, new business models and changing client needs. That is precisely why this membership is so significant," both CEOs emphasise.
