So far, various banks have shown direct or indirect support for bitcoin and its underlying technology, but there hasn’t been a global bank providing actual bitcoin services while accepting different payment methods — until now.

NextBank is looking forward to becoming the first bank of its kind. Instead of going into defensive mode when it comes to discussing bitcoin, this bank has chosen to embrace the currency and its alternatives. It aims to offer services globally, in over 50 languages. Over 135 different payment methods including bitcoin, other altcoins and commodities will also be accepted.
