Introduction
We are living in the days of the information age and this has influenced the way we live each aspect of our lives. The evidence of this age is clearly seen in how almost every information is shared and communicated. Someone said it nicer this way "The stone age ended not due to lack of stones but because new technologies appeared". In relation to the latter, attempts to digitize almost all aspects of our lives has brought change in the way we now perceive the world of finance and banking thinking of the blockchain technology which has made it possible to even digitize money through cryptocurrencies.
Alot of attempts made to transform the financial services only get bias and offer just lending services. Since those efforts can not be overlooked, Bankera seeks to bring on board all the necessary banking services possible in this digitized era.
Overview of Bankera
Bankera is of the vision to build a bank for the blockchain era and I mean a physical bank which will eventually be the one-stop store for all your financial needs in this digitized age the same way the traditional paper and ink banks are.
I got to know about Bankera on an ico calendar website and that gave me the opportunity to get my hands on their whitepaper, then, i educated myself on this great project. Bankera's ICO was scheduled to end on 28th Feb, 2018 and that allocated an amount of about 125,124,798Eur into the account of the project with over 99,800 contributors. Before the Ico stage ended, the great team behind Bankera acquired an established bank called Pacific Private Bank (PPB) and this became a headline in the crypto space.
Bankera + Spectrocoin
Spectrocoin is an exchange platform which is owned and managed by Bankera's team which has over 800,000 users. Spectrocoin also provides debit cards, E-wallet(Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dash, Nem, USD etc) and payment processing services. During the days of Ico, cryptos like BTC, Eth and Nem were the coins you could use in exchange for the BNK tokens and this exchange only happened on Spectrocoin. Bought BNKs were stored on your Spectrocoin BNK wallet during the ico for each contributor. Spectrocoin has already issued thousands of IBANs( international bank account numbers) and debit cards to show their capabilities as compared to traditional banks.
Bankera + HitBTC
Bankera made an agreement with an already performing crypto trading platform called HitBTC to be the first to list BNK tokens and that was really a milestone to think of.
As a result, BNKs started trading on HitBTC on 4th June, 2018 and the Bankera team assured its believers of getting BNK listed on most crypto exchange platforms.
The team
To conclude, every great invention is said to be backed by great minds and this project proves that point because there's a great assembly of management team behind the success of Bankera with a wide range of skills. These include experts in cryptocurrencies, artificial intelligence, internet marketing and economics, blockchain and peer-to-peer technologies, payment processing and a whole lot more.
The core brains are Vytautas Karaleviclus, Mantas Moc and Justas Dobillauskas.
