List of Banks in Graal

This page is a list banks that are currently known to operate in the city of Graal. Graal is a bankocracy, meaning that the banks govern the city. The governor of the city of Graal is elected from the group of bank CEOs, who may govern the city for two years before election time when a new CEO will govern or the current governor will be reelected. Although the role as governor over the city means very little in terms of politics (the governor does almost nothing but consent to law changes - those laws are drafted by concensus between the bank managers and CEOs) it does mean a great deal of personal power, wealth and prestige. The ruling bank has the majority vote when it comes to policy making, giving policies in their favour a great advantage.

Mor Constabulary Bank
Mor Constabulary Bank is the current ruling bank and its CEO/Governor is Albin Leigh. Originally the bank was a militia force organised into a constabulary to police Graal centuries ago. When the group began to demand monetary tribute for "protection" they sewed the seeds that would lead to the collective becoming a bank. It has rarely held the highest rank amongst the banks of Graal, however Albin Leigh proved himself to be shrewd and cunning when he managed to cajole and bribe his way into office - finally giving the Mor Constabulary Bank prominence.

Tudor's Premier Bank
Tudor's Premier Bank is one of the most influencial of all the banks in Graal, not because of any great legacy but because of its underground machinations. Unlike most banks the Tudor's Premier Bank never relinquished its family succession laws and each CEO of the bank is a member of the Tudor family. However most Tudor family members are also crime lords in the city of Graal. Though this is not unusual for bankers, it is unusual for such a high number to be within one bank and one single family - giving them a superior edge when it comes to underhanded dealing and plots against the other banking groups. The current CEO of the Tudor's Premier Bank is Ursa Tudor who is known to be a successful mob boss and has significant sway over the police force of Graal.

Graal Bank
Graal Bank was one of the city's first banks and is considered the bank with the most heritage. Many historians enjoy tracing Graal Bank's roots right back to the days of The Pioneers. It is one of the few banking establishments that still passes succession through its ruling family members, though there has been a great deal of pressure to relinquish this over the past decades. No more so than when the CEOship passed to its current CEO Lady Bea who was not even born in Graal and was a distant cousin of the previous CEO.
