Bank

From Discworld MUD Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

A bank is a place where you can safely store your money. There are npc banks, as well as player-run ones.

There is a one-time fee to open an account, and a deposit fee every time you make a deposit (a percentage of the amount of the deposit).

If you have an account at a bank, you can access your balance from any of its branches. You deposit and withdraw money in the local currency only.

The command "balance book", used at any bank (whether npc or player-run), will give you a book that lists all of your bank accounts and their balances. If you already have a balance book in your inventory, this updates it for free--if not, there's a fee of &&&&&&&&&&&+2000 A$5 to get a new book.

The balances are listed both in the currency each bank uses[1], and in the local currency of the bank branch you last updated the balance book at. The last page tells you the total amount of money you have across all accounts.

NPC banks

There's no limit to the amount of money npc banks can hold, and they are permanent. However, they usually have higher deposit fees than player-run banks.

Player-run banks

Bank counters of different capacities can be installed in player shops. Since they can only hold a certain amount of money, they must be maintained to make sure people can deposit and withdraw money.

While the shop in which the master counter is on auction operations on accounts cannot be made at the master bank counter, though it is still possible to withdraw and deposit money in accounts at branch counters.

If the master counter is trashed the accounts become unavailable until a new master counter with the same bank name is put back in the same shop. This probably also stops branch counters from working.  research If this has been marked on a page, it's because there was something that probably isn't known, that the person who edited the page thinks could be found out. Perhaps you could figure this thing out, and be famous evermore. 

The shop owner can set the deposit fees and the fees to open an account. The deposit rate is visible when you look at the counter:

A heavily armoured and hardwood counter with a safe embedded into the surface.  A logo marks this as a franchise of [bank].
A small sign indicates that the current deposit rate is [rate] and the owner is [owner].

For more info you can check the list of player shops, or the individual shop pages.

This table is automatically updated from individual shop pages, so edits should be made to them, not here.
