6 Monks (6M) and FundBank (Europe) S.A. announce strategic partnership to accelerate digital asset and private equity banking across Europe

6 Monks Press Release:


6 Monks (6M), a leading Luxembourg-based AIFM specializing in digital asset and private equity fund management and administration, has entered a business relationship with FundBank (Europe) S.A. who deliver next-generation banking services tailored to the rapidly evolving alternative asset ecosystem. This collaboration aims to streamline fund management, banking, and distribution for institutional investors seeking exposure to blockchain-based assets, tokenized securities, Web3-native and private equity investment strategies across the European market.

This collaboration marks a significant milestone in 6 Monks’ mission to simplify and accelerate fund operations for asset managers, private equity firms, and other alternative investment actors. By integrating FundBank’s institutional-grade banking infrastructure, 6 Monks clients will benefit from seamless access to real IBANs, and conflict-free banking services—all underpinned by deep industry expertise.

FundBank isn’t just a bank—it’s a partner that understands the urgency, complexity, and nuance of private markets,,” said Quentin Werlé, Head of Portfolio Management at 6 Monks. “Their Luxembourg-based team speaks our language, and their model aligns perfectly with our vision of speed, transparency, and scalability.

FundBank, regulated by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF), adopts a differentiated model based on the segregation of roles, avoiding conflicts of interest by not providing fund administration and depositary services. FundBank’s cash structure is designed to prioritize client protection and liquidity through on-balance sheet deposits and off-balance sheet fiduciary agreements, with highly rated counterparties.

We built FundBank for firms like 6 Monks—innovative, fast-moving, and focused on delivering value to the alternative investment community,” said Steve David, CEO at FundBank (Europe) S.A. “Our shared DNA makes this partnership a natural fit.”

With new business acceptance decisions in just 5 business days, accounts live in 10, FundBank’s operational efficiency is a game-changer for fund managers navigating tight timelines and regulatory requirements.

This collaboration reinforces both firms’ commitment to empowering alternative investment professionals with the tools, infrastructure, and support they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving European market.
