DESCRIPTION
Banks in Alyria exist to safeguard their depositors' money. In
order to maintain the necessary security force to protect large
amounts of crass lucre from pirates, robbers, looters, and
other rogues, they charge their depositors for keeping their
money secure.

There are many varied banks in the world of Alyria, each with their
own fees and rates for the deposit and withdrawal of your money.
Some will be cheaper, some will be more expensive.

Some banks have multiple branches, and may be accessed in several
locations. Using most bank commands at a bank will automatically
open an account for you at that bank.

Bankers also will sell bars of rare metals, permitting adventurers
to temporarily hold onto their gold in object form, until they wish
to convert them back. To buy bars, purchase them from bankers; to
convert them back into gold, SAYTO BANKER EXCHANGE MY BARS. Bankers
are also willing to act as secure intermediaries between adventurers
that are trading items. For more information, HELP TRADING.

BANK INFO will give you some basic information about the bank - its
name, total accounts, total assets, and transaction and withdrawal
rates.

BANK BALANCE will give you a complete listing of how much you have
in that bank.

BANK DEPOSIT <amount> will allow you to deposit <amount> worth of
gold in your account. BANK DEPOSIT ALL will deposit all of the
gold you currently carry on your person into your account.

BANK WITHDRAW <amount> will allow you to withdraw <amount> worth
of gold from your account. Please note that some banks charge a
transaction fee when money is withdrawn from an account. BANK
WITHDRAW ALL will withdraw all of the money in your account, and
close your account, if it is not set as your default bank account.
You must have at least one bank account active.

BANK TRANSFER <amount> <player name> will allow you to withdraw
<amount> worth of gold from your account and transfer it to
<player name>. The player to which the money is being transferred
must be online at the time the transfer is made. Please note that
some banks charge a transaction fee when money is transferred from
an account.

BANK CLOSE ACCOUNT will withdraw any remaining money you have in
the account (charging any applicable withdrawal fees, of course),
and close the account for you.

BANK DEFAULT sets the current bank as your 'default' bank. What
this means, is that when buying items from stores and over auctions,
if you do not have enough gold on hand to complete the transaction,
the money will be withdrawn from your account at this bank.
