After a bumpy year, Bankera, a fintech spinoff of the Spectrocoin card services, is finally launching its main product, a crypto exchange. Located at http://exchange.bankera.com, this exchange allows trading of 5 main pairs for now: BTC, ETH, XEM, DASH and, of course, BNK, with more to be added in the near future. I also made a pledge for adding STEEM to it, but I don't know if it was even taken into account by now.

As expected, Bankera token, the BNK, will act like some sort of liquidity provider, meaning you will not pay any fees when converting from or to BNK, no matter what other pair you're using.

Also, interestingly enough, BNK holders who keep their stake on the exchange, will receive their Weekly Reward (which is 20% off of the profits made form Bankera) in their Spectrocoin account.

I had the chance to be one of the first alpha testers for this exchange and, so far, I find it stable and easy to use.

In the screenshot above you can see I bought 1,200 BNK (worth roughy $4 at the moment of order), in what appears to be the 6th transaction ever on the Bankera Exchange.

After / if the exchange takes over, Bankera intends to offer a new product: fiat loans backed with crypto.
