A global banking partner for new fund launches

FundBank is a robust, fully dedicated banking partner, delivering purpose-built solutions for asset managers, whether launching new funds or managing established strategies globally. We understand the operational and regulatory challenges faced by emerging managers and established asset management firms alike.

A global presence across leading fund jurisdictions

With a global presence that includes North America, Europe and the Cayman Islands, FundBank has continued to extend its global reach to meet client demand.  Having been in operation in the Cayman Islands for several decades, in November 2024, FundBank commenced its North America banking services with the official launch of FundBank N.A., making FundBank the first national bank in the country established to offer institutional banking services to the asset management industry, across both the United States and Canada. Our Luxembourg bank has been live since August 2025, with EU passporting from day one and is one of the most highly-regulated entities in Luxembourg.

Together, our Cayman Islands, North America, and European operations provide a fully integrated global banking network for fund managers. We are strategically positioned  to supporting cross-border fund structures, multi-jurisdictional investor bases, and international capital flows.
