You don't need a bitcoin bank. To be honest, if you use a cold wallet or a trezor/Ledger wallet, it will be as safe as a bank.

Invest in bitmixer.io if you have the funds

This is probably the best advice.

Most people miss it too, since on their homepage its overlooked. They are always looking for investors.. so yeah better that then a new site.

But know their starting minimum is 100 btc.

I found a site bitbank.com while fiddling with domain names through boardom. It offers 12% interest on annual fixed amounts or 0.02% daily. Is this site a scam or leitimate.

I want to know of only people who have used it or can offer advice on its validity.

look like nice and great site,but i dont think if they offer 12% interest on annual fixed amounts,then they will long life,maybe sometime the offers going down. i just suggest you to beware and keep deposite with small amount.

12% interest falls into the Too Good To Be True category.

In order for someone to pay you interest, they need to be able to generate that money. Does their website say how they do it?

i did some digging on them a few months ago but i don't remember much details.

all i remember is that bitbank, jua and bw.com are all affiliates of the CHBTC.com a big chinese exchange.
i have no clue to how safe and reliable they are but i've been keeping a bit of coins at my bw.com wallet which gives penny worth of interest daily.
it seems to be ok but its not worth the risk;
for a while now i've been considering moving what i have on bw to poloniex and lend it, just haven't had the time to look into it;

Well the only fair and reliable bank here are the trading plateform with a margin funding service :p

Coinbase, Gemini and Itbit are the only exchanges as far as I know that insure your coins if they're hacked at their end. Funnily enough none of the margin sites are.

They do have an incentive not to disappear with your coins but hacks happens and you'll be relying on their goodwill and profitability to get them back. They're not risk free.

Bank of China prohibits any banking or financial institutions from providing any Bitcoin related services. So to answer your question, this appears illegitimate.

There is no regulated bitcoin "bank" in the world. A bank has to be insured. If an entity calls it a bank, it is a scam.

Dude, that's a complete scam and every other site like that it's a sure way to lose money, sooner or later, I would say sooner. If you want to get some interest out of your BTC stash I suggest lending it on Poloniex. I know having money on exchanges is not advisable but daily traders have to do it all the time. They are very reliable but I know, all exchanges are reliable until they are not.

Do you earn a decent amount with poloniex lending?

its just a website,not like konvenstional banks,take a risk to invest on untrusted site is not my choice,need more than 2 years experience to make sure i'm invest in good and legit site.

Even if the website is working for 2 years, how can trust it to invest your money? Through online reviews? Online reviews are mainly fake and even images, proofs can be easily faked. It took me a long time to trust even PayPal when it's recognized by my bank and hence I would trust a bitcoin bank when bitcoins aren't themselves recognized.

Ponzi website. Nobody will offer 12% interest as that's an amount banks cannot afford and mostly HYIPs offer such a rate to get more customers. I wouldn't trust any online bank for my money (not even payment processors) and keep my money for a year. Had a bad experience with LR already.

bitcoin + bank = scam pretty much without fail. Stick interest levels like that on top then it's in the goddamn bag.

For the time being, the "bitcoin banks" are not regulated, so they are mostly scams. In the future, we will have proper banks.

"Bitcoin Banks" are either a ponzi scheme or scam which is pretty much the same. Banks based on Bitcoins are very hard to regulate and it is hard for them to lend out without the extremely high chances of borrowers defaulting. This would only change if those banks are allowed to have secure loans. They would still not be called a bank, they would be called lenders.

Bitcoin itself is a bank, there is no need for a service to act as a bank.

Any bitcoin doubler can run a virtual bank and give you interest . Invest at your own risk, bitcoin bank is not needed for now.

I think they're faking the stats mentioned on their website ,the collected and distributed amounts.If you look at their support and contacts section,they haven't registered themselves as a legal company to suffice the methods mentioned on the webpage.I'm not saying they're cheating or scamming people but they don't have a solid proof why we should trust them.For now I would ask you invest a small amount like very small and see they work,get to know how much they pay back based on your daily intrests .ask other investors on the same site of their experience.

Apperantly, it's rumored to be owned by JUA. I've heared mixed things about them.
Personally, i wouldn't use their service (to much risk of a scam/ponzi), but i guess in the end it's up to you.

I just checked the site, and see several features like interest that they offer reasonable enough, can't see any sign of scam there.
But well according to your thread that you mentioned above , i guess they are scam .
Very unfortunate their domain are really good but used for bad things .

Most bitcoin banks are either not worth it for the hassle or ponzi schemes. I suggest you invest in P2P lending, much higher returns.

Well Poloniex lending service with 70% atm and 20% average profit is not scam. I mean there are risks of insolvency, however you know the source of profits: traders, so at least its not a Ponzi scheme.
Bitfinex lending service is much safer(you even can see on which specificially BTCaddress your funds are, because they store it separately), but there much smaller rates: from 11% to 25% annually.

The question you have to ask yourself, can I trust this company to not do an exit scam when it has enough funds? The answer to that would be "No, you cannot", sending money to such sites is almost same as handing money to a stranger of which you know nothing about.

The question you have to ask to yourself is also "do i need a bank" and the answer is clearly no ^^

You may be able to get more than that with rather small effort on Poloniex lending area. And it feels more legit too.
