Synterra Innovations Ltd.
A Canadian money services business registered with FINTRAC (N300000167), wholly owned by the group. Our own regulated rails — not a referral to someone else's.
The house
Synterra Innovations Ltd.
The regulated entity of the Whales Corp AG group — a Canadian money services business built to serve a small number of private and corporate relationships properly, rather than a large number of them at arm's length.
The group
A Swiss holding company and three working parts
Whales Corp AG is a Swiss holding company specialised in private-client financial services for crypto, delivered through international, non-custodial infrastructure and a network of managed subsidiaries. As the strategic centre of the group it holds governance, investment and long-term partner relationships.
Software house
Research and development units located in favourable jurisdictions, building the infrastructure the services run on.
Exchange & EMI network
Long-standing relationships with exchange desks, EMI providers and fintechs across the jurisdictions the group operates in.
Management
The people you will deal with
The group excludes formal and nominal roles: every position reflects real participation and responsibility. This is a small house, and the names below are the people a client actually reaches — not a switchboard in front of them.
Howard Brand
Designated officer · FINTRACAnswerable for the conduct of the entity: which relationships it takes on and the terms agreed on each of them. Also the officer designated under the money services business registration, which carries the compliance programme, the KYC and source-of-funds standards, and the authority to decline a relationship.
Andrei Moskvitch
Synterra Innovations Ltd.The written agreements behind every mandate, correspondence with regulators and banking partners, and the regulatory framework the business operates under.

Wholly owned, and disclosed
Synterra Innovations Ltd. is wholly owned by Whales Corp AG. Shareholders and ultimate beneficial owners are documented, and the ownership structure is disclosed to regulators, banking partners and correspondent counterparties on request. The group states maximum transparency of team, ownership and investor composition as a principle; this is where that principle has to hold.
Why work with us
Discretion, capacity, and a direct relationship
- Infrastructure
- Reliability
- Honesty
- Stability
- Durability
Exchange and paying-agent services, banking rails and digital cheque issuance are extended individually to clients and partners who need real capacity and a direct relationship rather than a queue.
That is a deliberate constraint. A house that takes every relationship cannot know any of them, and a limit sized by policy rather than by a person is the wrong limit for almost everybody.
Full transparency and openness
Conversion is disclosed and agreed once. Nothing about the arrangement is meant to be discovered later.
Non-custodial by design
Client funds stay in the client's custody. We are the regulated path, not the holder.
Real relationships, not a product
Built for clients who require discretion, capacity and a relationship — not a standardised product.
The name and the mark
Syn, together. Terra, ground.
The mark is a piece of ground, drawn the way a survey map draws one — contour isolines — with a fault cut straight through it and the two plates slid apart along the cut.
Contours are a map of somewhere. A fault is where that somewhere stops being continuous: a border, a currency, a settlement system. Everything in the field is displaced across it. The one thing that holds is the core in the middle, sitting astride the cut, whole.
That is what this house is for, and it is the only warm thing in the mark.
Let's talk
Every relationship begins with a conversation, not an application form
Terms, limits and structuring are agreed individually following compliance review. Mail is answered by a person.
