International Banking System - The Alquennas Trade Association created the Bank of Alquennas in TK 850 to make the exchange of credit easier for merchants and ship owners. With the introduction of the worldwide currency in TK 05, the task of creating the World Bank of Alquennas was a simple matter of organization. The Bank of Alquennas works with all of the city and national banks. They are a reporting and regulatory agency for the extension and collection of credit.
The Bank of Alquennas provides a central hub for communications between different banks of the world or even a country. An example if a person presents a draft to a bank in Kent from the Kallon Bank, the information is sent to the Alquennas bank, which has its office in the Bank of Kent. It then sends the information to the regional Bank of Alquennas office that then routes it to the Bank of Kallon. The Bank of Kallon will verify the data and send the response back. This usually takes one to two days. There is a credit extension to the person of up to two Crowns. The Bank of Alquennas guarantees the credit extension. The source of the credit extension is from the fees the Bank of Alquennas charges for their services. The Bank of Alquennas also enforces the rates in which the banks of the world can charge interest on loans and pay interest on accounts they hold. In TK 1040, the loan interest rate was set at 10% as the account savings interest rate was set at 5%. Return to Top |
