As an average person coming into crypto in the short gain, it's normal to be skeptical about ICOs. There's FUD surrounding almost every single one and rightful reasons to some I say.

But this one is different.
This one is not like the others.
This one will succeed with or without you.

Founded in 2016 by Jared Rice Sr. and Stanley Ford, AriseBank™ is the first of its kind. A completely decentralized banking product that features one of the largest platforms built to date. Arise was built on five core values. Community, environment, education, diversity and privacy are the true foundation of our 21st century banking system.

Who does AriseBank™ really belong to? The answer is simple, it belongs to everyone. A bank that gives the ability to empower every citizen to maintain and achieve their financial goal.

We are not just a bank but also a technology company. Developed and manufactured by your very own arise team called the aPocket™, a digital asset-based hardware wallet, using 3D printing with recycled plastic. All of the printed receipts and packaging papers/materials are printed with 100% recycled materials so we can ensure no resources go to waste. But more than that we are currently in development of mining hubs that can operate on 100% renewable energy. Think about the countries that are still developing.

We also would like to expand our mission globally and give by a portion of our local profits and investing them within our local communities. Every year we will have an annual progress report we release to ensure we are the most sustainable banking system.

1100 ATMs in locations worldwide. Over 20 countries including the United States, South Korea, United Arab Emirates and many more! The ATMs are completely powered by raspberry PIs, our aOS operating system and T-Mobile's network. The raspberry also has the smallest carbon footprint of ANY ATM in the world.
Instantly buy digital assets with fiat. Using your bank account with P2P banking APIs, assets are available instantly after purchase. I had always wanted to go to a mall and find an ATM and deposit direct fiat to my wallet and now you can. With over 700+ crypto currencies coming to the Bitshares DEX, I don't think you will see a bottom again for bitshares anytime soon.

This is revolutionary in the banking system. The big banks now have competition and they cannot stop us as we have a first ever announcement of an acquisition of two traditional banks. AriseBank now holds 100 percent of the equity in both KFMC Bank Holding Company, a 100 year-old commercial bank, and TPBG, a 25 year-old investment banking and management firm.

With the Arise ICO coming to the hard cap of $1B USD, and a possible extension on the ICO past January 26th, I believe we are about to witness big changes in history. Strap in boys its going to be an exciting ride. If you would like to be apart of it sign up for the ICO at https://ico.arisecoin.com/. Also the bitshares 1:1 contribution is ending Jan 26th. Let me know if you have any questions on the ICO, I will be glad to help. :)
