Status update: the Apex NEO Card is not available yet.
Our original roadmap targeted a July 2025 launch. That date has passed, and the Apex NEO Card, along with planned banking features such as fiat top-ups, checking, savings, and Visa card issuance, remains pending regulatory approval. We have not announced a new release date and will share updates here as the approval process moves forward.
Apex NFT Card Services is not a bank. The banking features described below depend on partnerships with regulated banking institutions and on the required approvals being granted.
We’re also seeking additional crypto-friendly banking associates and partners to join our network.
Original Roadmap (2025)
For transparency, here is the timeline we originally planned. Not every step has been completed, and the dates no longer apply.
Month/Year | Milestone | Key Details
April 2025 | Pre-Launch & Initiation | – Finalize internal testing and user preparation for the Apex NEO Card and NFT Debit Card release. Plan outreach to crypto-friendly and tech-savvy members. Initiate connections with Core Banking Services in Zurich for international infrastructure.
May 2025 | System Integration & BIN Connection | – Integrate with Core Banking Services in Zurich. Connect a Bank Identification Number (BIN) for domestic card operations. Begin BAS (Banking Automation Systems) integration for transaction management and operational agility.
June 2025 | Bank Partnership & Operational Ramp-Up | – Finalize BAS integration to streamline back-end processes. Establish a planned partnership with a regulated physical bank in central Florida to support checking, savings, and Visa card issuance, subject to approval. Begin outreach to additional crypto-friendly banking associates and partners.
July 2025 | Planned Launch & Network Expansion | – Debut the Apex NEO Card, subject to regulatory approval. Announce the integration of global and domestic systems. Onboard new crypto-friendly partners.
Where Things Stand
Global Connectivity: Our goal is to connect with Core Banking Services in Zurich so the card platform can run on reliable international infrastructure.
Domestic Banking Partner: Everyday banking features (checking, savings, and card issuance via Visa) are planned through a regulated partner bank and will only be offered once the required approvals are in place.
Expanding the Ecosystem: We continue to look for crypto-friendly associates and partners to build a resilient, diverse network that can adapt to changes in the financial landscape.
Each milestone helps us prepare operationally as we work toward bringing traditional banking and blockchain-enabled payments together. We’ll post updates here as the approval process progresses.
