Your deposits will be invested in numerous ventures including mining hardware, data hosting infrastructure, low interest loans and interest free loans for investors.
I don't get it: you'll pay 2.5%-3.2% to borrow money from people (since accepting a deposit is similar to getting a loan), so that you can lend this money at a lower interest rate? How do you plan to be profitable? I need a loan for 3-6 weeks, I'd be willing to pay 3% weekly interest.
At the same time, you're trying to borrow money at 3% interest rate for yourself, instead of going through your "bank" where you could supposedly get better terms? I can't understand what you're after.

2.5% - 3.2% weekly means 261% - 414% yearly (1.02552≈3.61 and 1.03252≈5.14). So every 1 BTC you invest would become somewhere between 3.61 to 5.14 BTC after one year.
If you can make that kind of money, why don't you just do this with your own money and become financially independent within a few years?

I'm trying to raise capital to invest. At the beginning of this year I had no money, now I have around 1500, I'd say I'm doing pretty good.
I'm not offering interest free loans yet, but if deposits were high enough, I'd love to. Not to make money but to help people.

Dank Bank Investments
Hello fellow investors, my name is Dank and I'd like to share this opportunity for a low risk, high output investment.
[…]
Your deposits will be invested in numerous ventures including mining hardware, data hosting infrastructure, low interest loans and interest free loans for investors. I plan on providing more services/products to the BTC community as capital allows for. Some amount will be invested into an automated content management system to allow quick, flexible investments and withdrawals at any time.
How is that low risk? Do you guarantee the amount placed into your "bank"? What, for example, if the ventures you invest into go bankrupt? Will you reimburse your "clients" with your own money? You admitted having 1500 something (USD?), would that be enough in case those ventures default on you and you are short 2000 BTC?

Nothing is risk free, but you can minimize the risk by taking control of how investments are spent. I don't invest in other people's ventures, I invest myself and have control over how much money is made. I'd say this has a lot lower risk than some pass through program.
Another thing that guarantees your investment is my respect and belief in karma. I'm not going to run away with your money just because I can, I wouldn't gain anything from that in the long run. Even if I miraculously lost your money, I would not disappear off the face of the earth, I would keep working and reimburse what I owe you and more.

What makes this any different to giving you a loan?

Fundamentally, nothing. However, this gives you options to control the terms of the loan based in your needs rather than mine.

So, if both the depositors asked for their money now, you'd be able to send them it?

I know, I probably would be classified as legally insane, but no worries, crazy is just a label for a lack of higher understanding. Glad you enjoy them.

Dank Bank added to Micon's list of obvious ponzi's that you should not send BTC to and withdraw all you can ASAP if you already have https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=94900.0

While anyone with a bit of logic could figure out what you mean by biweekly and bimonthly in your OP, just to avoid people trying squirrely things (saying they thought it meant something different) you may want to clear that up. You see, biweekly is a vague term, many take it to mean twice a week, many to mean every two weeks. From Merriam-Webster: biweekly 1: occurring twice a week
2: occurring every two weeks

I've always thought semi meant twice and bi was every two, universally, atleast when it came to billing periods.
But thank you, yes, biweekly means every two weeks and bimonthly means every two months.
