Platform

The commitment of a boutique. The impact of a platform.

Aragon eXeed is an independent advisory and delivery platform based in Baar, Canton of Zug. We work for banks, financial intermediaries, FinTechs and digital asset firms that want to translate regulatory requirements into structures that last.

The model

At the centre stands the founder's experience: around 20 years in regulated financial services, including 18 years with Credit Suisse and UBS at Executive Director level, with a direct interface to FINMA and to the governance of the Board Risk Committee. Since 2024, this has been complemented by building a MiCAR-regulated digital asset exchange in Liechtenstein and the external Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) role under FMA supervision, a competence that flows into our mandates.

Around this core, Aragon eXeed works with a curated ecosystem: specialised law firms in Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria and Germany, RegTech partners for blockchain analytics, Travel Rule and identity verification, and experienced specialists for niche topics. We staff mandates the way the topic demands: as a single mandate, as a team, or in co-delivery with established advisory and audit firms. You hold one conversation, we orchestrate the rest.
