Vonban Swiss AG: identity, board changes and service claims

analysisVonban Swiss AG is the Swiss corporation identified by CHE-315.189.557 and commercial-register reference CH-020.3.054.672-2. Its original entry was recorded on 26 August 2024 and published on 29 August. The retained federal UID record identifies an active company in Zug and an active VAT registration beginning on 26 August 2024. The translated names Vonban Swiss SA and Vonban Swiss Ltd refer to this same Swiss legal entity. A company registration and a VAT registration do not establish a banking licence, financial soundness or ownership of the similarly branded Canadian business. The dates distinguish the register entry from its later publication. ^{1 2}

analysisThe incorporation notice records CHF100,000 of fully paid share capital, divided into 100,000 registered shares of CHF1 each. The articles restrict share transfers and record a waiver of limited audit. The stated business purpose concerns financial-system services, particularly payments, while expressly excluding activities requiring FINMA authorisation. The articles also permit investments, financing, guarantees and cash pooling. These are powers the company may exercise; they are not evidence that any particular loan, guarantee, subsidiary or cash-pooling arrangement actually existed. The audit waiver is not an auditor opinion. ²

analysisThe Swiss company moved from Nüschelerstrasse 31 to Talacker 21 in Zürich in a notice published on 4 December 2025. An April 2026 amendment moved its seat to Zug and its office to Baarerstrasse 12. The seat-transfer notice is dated 27 April, following the register entry of 22 April and articles dated 1 April. A deletion from the old cantonal register on a seat transfer is not dissolution of the company. These notices give corporate office addresses; they do not identify a domicile-service supplier or prove ownership links to other tenants. ^{3 4 1}

analysisAntonio Sardegno was the initial board member with sole signing authority. The August 2025 notice made him president and added Pavlo Shevchenko as a board member signing jointly with another authorised person. The April 2026 notice records Sardegno leaving, Shevchenko becoming president with sole signature, and Olena Dobrynska joining the board with joint signature. These are successive offices, not a list of simultaneously current presidents. Signing authority, a board seat and share ownership are different capacities. ^{3 2}

analysisThe notice published on 7 August 2026 records Dobrynska leaving the board. Shevchenko remains a board member with sole signature, changing from president. Justin Friedrich, who joined as a director with joint signature in April, receives sole signature. The August entry is the latest retained Swiss governance notice. The notice calls Friedrich a director and Shevchenko a board member; the titles are not interchangeable. Later unrecorded changes are outside this edition, whose evidence cutoff is 13 September 2026. ^{3 5}

analysisThe Swiss website describes an invitation-only payment gateway for clients introduced by industry professionals. It advertises dedicated settlement accounts, treasury-oriented settlement services and accounts for financial institutions. Its disclaimer says its intermediary supervision is under Swiss law and that it has no foreign authorisation. These are the company’s descriptions of its services and territorial limits. They do not independently establish client volumes, the identity of banking partners, segregation of funds or authorisation for every advertised activity. ⁶

analysisVonban Swiss states that it holds membership of the Financial Services Standards Association, VQF, a Swiss self-regulatory organisation. It describes VQF as recognised by FINMA and supervising its intermediary activities. This is a company statement in the retained website, not a separately retrieved membership certificate. SRO membership is not described here as a FINMA banking licence, a guarantee of deposits or a transfer of the Canadian company’s registration. ⁶

analysisThe Swiss privacy notice, revised in January 2026, identifies Vonban Swiss AG as controller of its website and portal data and gives the then-current Talacker office. It permits sharing with affiliated companies and service providers under stated contractual and legal conditions, without naming those affiliates. The earlier office is consistent with the later recorded move, rather than proof of a second Swiss company. The generic affiliate clause does not supply a list of subsidiaries or establish a particular data transfer. ⁷
