http://nxtforum.orgHello Nxt Community! Today I am here to announce to you the very first Fiat Exchange for Nxt. It has been a tough 4 months, but our team of more than 6 people has been working day and night to make this project a reality! I am delighted to say that we are close to the launch of the very first Nxt <-> Fiat trading platform
Who are we?
We are a team of 6 people, entrepreneurs and developers all around the world. We are located in Switzerland (one of the most beautiful and promising countries) and are part of GSF India with access to Techstars and 500Startups.
What is our goal?
Our main goal is it to create an exchange that lowers the entry barrier for newcomers and thus help them to join the Nxt ecosystem. We turn the current cumbersome 3 - 5 step process of acquiring Nxt into a maximum of 1 - 2 steps which not only makes it easier to acquire Nxt, but also a lot cheaper.
Additionally, together with a few prominent Nxt’ers, we will work heavily on the marketing aspect of Nxt and the amazing solutions it offers to some of our modern problems. Thanks to our connections, we have access to the following finance and tech related news websites:

The official beta launch will be within 2 weeks time. Please ask as many questions as you please!
QUESTIONS:
- SEPA transfers within 1-2 business days?
- Which banks do you use?
- Will you allow independent audits?
- Will the names of the founders (CEO, CFO etc.) made public?
- Switzerland, so outside of the EU. This must be a strategic choice, why?
ANSWERS:
Hey Mike, thanks for your questions:
-SEPA is a very attractive solution for our users and we will definitely include that. For US members we are currently working with an amazing startup that will make it possible for users to have their very own credit card which they can use to transfer funds to, and actually use it in any shop. (We will announce the partnership with them very soon, additionally, they are being an amazing help with us in regards to MTB licenses in the US)
-We've been in touch with a local bank in Switzerland for quite some time now and it seems that we will move forward with them. Else we have another bank (whose CEO is very interested in crypto-currency) who can assist us on this. (Sorry, but I can not disclose the exact names of these banks yet, as we have mainly gotten into touch with them through our connections)
-For sure! Transparency and being open to the community is one of the most important aspects of our business and we will make sure that the community knows what's going on behind the scenes. Right now we are working with several security auditors who will help us secure the platform. But implementing an automated solution that proves that we actually hold our funds is something we are definitely interested in. After all, the movement we are in is about not having to trust anyone, so we definitely want to live up to that!
-We will publicly name the entire Team on the homepage, our address and offices. (Obviously, we won't release information about our private anti-atomic bunker in the Swiss alps where the customer funds are stored)
-This is completely right, this is a very strategic move and it was planned since February now. We are working together with a few other companies on creating a Self Regulating Organisation that will make it possible for us to operate legally - but more to our legality and how we solve it at a later point
Cheers
-Dom
