[ANN]BANKERA – Building the Bank for the Blockchain Era

[Ansault]

Between 100M or 110M Euros raised by Feb 28th, right?
SO, I have a question:

- Are you still thinking about the pro-rata crap from the remaing coins?
I don't find it fair, and I think there will be a lot of not happy people when they realise how that will affect the price of the BNKs that they hold.
I think a burn can boost everyone.

Why would they change the rules in the middle of the game? And what negative effect on the price are you predicting, bearing in mind that the distributed tokens pay revenue dividends the same way as the bought ones?

Hey Bankera, the allegations against you regarding the negative trust is quite severe. Is it true or how did you defend against that? Hard to convince myself to get involved with a project where the dev might have pulled off a big scam beforehand.

Hello,

If you have read the thread, you will see that some people accuse our CEO of crimes committed even before he was born... SpectroCoin is registered in the European Union, UK (Business development), and Lithuania (Product development). As a company, we are strictly following Anti-Money Laundering (AML) policies and other European law directives. Therefore, we cooperate, in parallel, with police and legal institutions if we notice illegal activities or cases of fraud. And yes, we are in a very competitive market, there are and there will always be accusations, but they are just empty words if no basis or proof of that can be given by the 'accusers'.

The cat's out of the bag: Bankera's co-founders acquire the Pacific Private Bank: https://blog.bankera.com/2018/01/25/revealing-the-big-news-bankeras-co-founders-have-acquired-a-bank/

Story also in local media (google translated)

Who bought the Bank? Bankera or its co-founders? Its not clear to me. Also, if Bankera did this acquisition, how much did you pay for it? Buzz is nice, but in the end it´s the math that counts.

[thiagomattos]

Last but not least, if Bankera did this acquisition:

1) Profits from the operation of the bank (purchased with funds raised from the ICO) will be distributed to BNK holders?

2) Does Pacific Bank has jurisdiction in Europe? The whitepaper promises an European banking license.

[CryptoNeed]

Now, 5 months after the beginning of Bankera's pre-ICO, we want to share another very important achievement with all of you. Join the future of banking now! https://youtu.be/W4hL4uzOrho

Kind of boring to be honest ...

- What did you pay/what did it cost you (us)?
- What do you expect from this?
- Where is the benefit for holders?
- How does the pacific bank has influences on the european Banking circuit?

Pretty much disappointed after your "big announcement" 

[Bankera]

The structure of the purchase falls under a confidentiality agreement. So details cannot be made public.

The revenue share continues to come from SpectroCoin. There is still a lot of work to be done in the bank's structure, the changes will not happen in one day. But in the future, yes, BNK token holders are attributed net transactional revenue share from all Bankera products.

Bankera owners are the same UBO's.

So does this mean Bankera will not have to wait to have banking capabilities?  Will Bankera be able to use the existing banking license?

Bankera is a product of our team and PPB will help us to deliver a world leading product, together with other parts of the puzzle such as we have done with SpectroCoin. Having a banking capability was always one of our main goals - it's highlighted on our roadmap; the acquisition of PPB is a major step towards this goal.

You can read here a little about Vauntau Archpelag banking and how The Asian Development Bank (ADB)
is trying to supporting the development of banking services that will make it able for the people to use electronic banking and smartcard technology.
It is in fact good geolocation for innovative financial services,berween Asia and Australia

Today's chart: https://i.imgur.com/H7fe3RE.png
BNK has almost returned to the original projected path (the blue line in this chart: https://i.imgur.com/K7IgpFQ.png). Volume was solid today (almost 157 million tokens sold). Today's announcement about the Bankera's co-founders buying a bank in Vanuatu jurisdiction probably helped to sell a few dozen million ICO tokens. A divergence has emerged in the contributor charts: while the contributor numbers made a new high, the avg. contribution size was down noticeably, meaning more people taking smaller stakes today. https://i.imgur.com/QTiVUoq.png

@Bankera:

The announcement about the purchase of the Pacific Private Bank could have been handled better. It left a lot of people mystified, because it's not apparent what role this acquisition will play in Bankera's future. This can be chalked off on your management's young age and inexperience - this time - but given the amount of money involved, you really need to get better at communication. Maybe hire someone with actual (10-15 years) industry experience. Poorly handled communication can really hurt you and stop people from taking you in good faith.

I'd have to agree here. While I like the news itself, the way it was handled left too much room for FUD. Hopefully the next Q&A will clear some of the concerns and confusions people have about this deal, but it would've been great to do that preemptively, even if that means longer and less snappy blog posts or videos. And I know that's not a secret information, since I glanced over the bankera chat and there were a lot of unofficially presented statements from official people which clarified quite a lot and would've worked so well in the announcement/reddit thread/here. Those resources then later can be referenced by the community members thus relieving some of the pressure on support team which from the looks of it is already overloaded.

And make those popup cookie expiration times in bankera.com longer!

Thank you, once again!

There will be a Q&A about it after the ICO.
