Swiss International Trust Bank (swissitb.com): FINMA Flags the Zürich-Based Website

A website presenting itself as Swiss International Trust Bank and operating through swissitb.com has been placed on the warning list of Switzerland’s financial regulator. The website portrays the operation as an established financial institution and advertises services associated with personal banking, lending and investments.

On 24 September 2026, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) identified the exact domain on its public warning list. The regulator associates Swiss International Trust Bank with an address at Feldeggstrasse 12, 8008 Zürich and records the operation as having no Swiss Commercial Register entry.

The contrast is significant. The website presents itself as a Swiss banking institution, while FINMA’s regulatory record raises serious questions about the operation behind it. Based on the official warning concerning the exact domain and the supporting evidence reviewed by AssetVault Recovery, we consider swissitb.com a scam website that consumers and investors should avoid.

FINMA Lists Swiss International Trust Bank and swissitb.com

On 24 September 2026, the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) added Swiss International Trust Bank / swissitb.com to its warning list.

The regulatory entry identifies the website as https://www.swissitb.com and associates the operation with Feldeggstrasse 12, 8008 Zürich. Most importantly, FINMA records Swiss International Trust Bank as having no Commercial Register entry.

FINMA does not provide additional remarks in the entry. It also does not identify swissitb.com as an impersonation of a particular legitimate Swiss bank or company. We therefore do not attribute an impersonation finding to FINMA without supporting evidence.

The warning has also entered the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) I-SCAN warning network. FINMA remains the originating authority, so IOSCO circulation represents international distribution of the Swiss warning rather than a separate regulatory action.

For anyone considering depositing funds with swissitb.com, the important point is that the exact domain can be checked against FINMA’s own records. Similar verification has been central to other Swiss cases investigated by AssetVault, including Doronzo AG, where regulator information provides a more reliable basis for assessing an online financial operation than the claims appearing on its website.

The Website Presents Swiss International Trust Bank as an Established Bank

The presentation on swissitb.com makes FINMA’s warning particularly important.

Pages indexed from the website describe the operation as Swiss International Trust Bank, sometimes shortened to SITB or presented as Swiss Trust. Its privacy material describes Swiss International Trust Bank as an institution offering financial services and uses the same Feldeggstrasse 12, 8008 Zürich address recorded in FINMA’s warning.

The website has promoted products and services associated with banking, including accounts, home loans, credit cards, personal loans, investments and insurance. It also publishes the Swiss telephone number +41 56 539 10 00.

More strikingly, the site’s own history pages claim that the institution traces its origins to 1847. The website presents a lengthy timeline portraying Swiss International Trust Bank as an organisation with generations of banking history and claims that more than 1.3 million personal, business and rural customers bank with it.

Those statements come from swissitb.com itself; they are not findings made or verified by FINMA.

That distinction is crucial. A visitor encountering claims of an institution dating back to 1847, a Zürich address and extensive banking services could reasonably interpret those features as signs of an established Swiss financial organisation. Yet FINMA has now identified the exact website on its warning list and records Swiss International Trust Bank as having no Swiss Commercial Register entry.

This is precisely why investors should verify financial businesses through official sources rather than relying on a website’s history, branding or stated customer numbers. AssetVault has seen comparable credibility problems in investigations such as CTI Capital / ctimarket.com, where regulatory information becomes essential when assessing representations made online.

Why the Zürich Address and Banking Presentation Are Not Enough

Swiss financial branding can carry considerable credibility. References to Zürich, Swiss banking and long institutional histories may reassure people who would otherwise hesitate before sending money to an unfamiliar website.

But these elements must be independently verified.

FINMA’s warning means consumers should not assume that Swiss International Trust Bank has regulatory legitimacy merely because swissitb.com displays a Zürich address or describes itself as a bank. A professional website cannot establish that the operator behind it has the registration or authorisation expected of the financial activities being offered.

Consumers should verify the exact legal entity, corporate registration and regulatory status separately. The website domain should also match the organisation confirmed by the regulator rather than simply resembling the name of a financial institution.

This approach is particularly important when a platform claims a long operating history. Corporate records, regulator databases and independently verifiable historical information should support such claims. A statement appearing on the platform itself is not independent evidence.

The same principle applies beyond banking. Our Division Capital investigation illustrates why a sophisticated financial presentation should not substitute for verification of the business actually receiving investor funds.

Already Sent Money to swissitb.com? Preserve the Trail and Avoid Further Payments

If you have already transferred money or cryptocurrency after dealing with Swiss International Trust Bank, preserve the financial evidence before account access, communications or website content changes.

For bank transfers, retain the beneficiary name, IBAN or account number, receiving institution, SWIFT/BIC information, transfer reference, payment date and confirmation receipt.

If cryptocurrency was requested, preserve:

• receiving wallet addresses;
• transaction hashes or TXIDs;
• the blockchain network used;
• the cryptocurrency and amount transferred;
• dates of each transaction;
• exchange withdrawal records; and
• screenshots of the original payment instructions.

Also retain emails, account statements, telephone numbers, website screenshots, contracts, identity documents, names used by representatives and any WhatsApp, Telegram or other messaging conversations.

Do not rely solely on balances displayed inside an online account. The actual bank and blockchain records are considerably more useful for establishing where money moved.

If a withdrawal is followed by a demand for another payment described as a tax, AML charge, verification payment, security deposit, commission, insurance fee, account activation charge or release fee, do not automatically send more money. Preserve the demand and the payment destination instead.

Anyone who has already suffered a loss should also be cautious if another organisation subsequently claims it can release or recover the funds in exchange for an advance payment. The issues examined in our Debt Resolution Federation investigation reinforce the importance of independently checking organisations that approach people already dealing with financial losses.

AssetVault Recovery Assessment

The evidence concerning swissitb.com creates a serious conflict between the image presented by the website and the information available from Switzerland’s financial regulator.

The website portrays Swiss International Trust Bank as a longstanding Swiss financial institution, advertises banking and investment-related services and uses a Zürich address. FINMA, however, has placed the exact domain on its warning list and records Swiss International Trust Bank as having no Swiss Commercial Register entry.

AssetVault Recovery therefore considers Swiss International Trust Bank / swissitb.com a scam website and advises consumers and investors not to send money or cryptocurrency to it.

Anyone who has already transferred assets should preserve the independently verifiable payment trail. This includes bank-transfer records, cryptocurrency transaction hashes, wallet addresses and exchange documentation rather than relying solely on balances or statements generated inside the website.

The broader lesson is also reflected in investigations such as Cryptex Markets: financial branding, professional design and claims of institutional experience should always be checked against official regulatory records before funds are committed.
