NextBank has begun a fundraising campaign to launch a new cryptocurrency platform operating worldwide in the second quarter 2016. The company plans to open its offices in the UK, France, Germany, Spain, China, Malaysia and Russia.

The platform users who start an account with NextBank will have access to international debit cards, bitcoin exchange, fast SWIFT transfers, support of over 135 currencies and precious metals, multi-language service in over 50 languages, and an escrow service, according to NextBank's plans. The company will charge 0.2-0.4% fee depending on the choice of currency.

To register with NextBank users will have to fill in an application form and submit a photocopy of their ID and utility bill as a proof of address, and then have a short live interview with the company's representatives.  NextBank has invited everyone to become a shareholder. The company is selling 250,000 shares costing 100USD each. The shareholders will receive priority service including priority application processing and up to 5 years of free banking for owners of over 100 shares.

The company is registered by the Financial Services Commission of the Republic of Vanuatu and is based in Port Vila.
