Welcome to Gaia! ::


Welcome to the Reserve Bank of Gaia!

Important: We now have a new thread! Please don't post in this thread any more! Go here for the new thread! smile

Premise: Many people have problems with saving their money up for expensive items they wish to buy. They buy things they regret buying later, and lose money when I believe they shouldn't have to. Since the Bank of Gambino does not offer to store your money, this warrants a User Owned bank to do the same.

Credibility: Obviously, I have little posts and less clothes. This, however, is a mule account. My main account is Kitsuta, who has over 3,000 posts and is relatively well known in the Charity and Computers and Technology Forums. That account also backs this one up financially. The current balance of that accounts totals to over 10k.

If you are still unsure of my credibility, you are free to ask the following accounts:
Kitsuta
Ashie Chan
Fiery
nut-meg

Kitsuta is my main account, so she'll tell you that. Ashie Chan, nut-meg, and Fiery are good friends of mine. heart

Security: Hacking DOES happen on Gaia, and I make it my priority to make sure that this account is difficult to hack. The password used for this account is designed to be difficult to guess so your money and items are safe.

Purpose: To offer a service to store a Gaian's money with interest, so they can have a convenient storing place that earns them some money at the same time.

How We Operate: We operate basically like any private bank in the USA. We use our customer's money to invest in things that earn us money, and we return that back to the customer with interests, benefits, etc.

Current Balance: 84000g

Current Loans: 39000g

Current Items Stored: Paper Bag Set, Angelic Camisole, Nitemare Bustier, Angelic Boots, Nitemare Collar, March Letter, Seal Slippers

Current Starting Interest Rate Offered: 2% per 15 days

Current Starting Loan Interest Rate: 2% per 30 days

Current Interest Rate Cap: 5%

Current Loan Interest Rate Cap: 5%

How Your Balance Is Calculated: Every fifteen days since your deposit trade is completed, I will multiply your balance by the interest rate and add the two numbers together. That will be your balance.

How Your Loan Is Calculated: Every thirty days you will owe the bank the interest rate of your loan. If you pay back your loan within a thirty day period, you must still pay the interest rate.

Rate Changes: The rate for this bank is steady, meaning it will not change for you without warning. If you deposit or borrow any more money and the interest rate has been changed, the interest rate of your loan/account's interest rate will be updated. You cannot take out more than one loan or open more than one deposit account.

Loan Rates: The rate you owe on your loan will increase by 1% every thirty days, so pay back your loan quickly! Your loan interest rate will not go above 5%.

Interest Rate: The rate you get in your account will increase by 1% every fifteen days, so keep some money in your account! Your rate will not go above 5%.

Withdrawing: If you withdraw more than 90% of your money, you will keep your account and security number BUT your interest rate will drop back to the starting rate when you deposit again.

A couple of new policies:
If you cancel a trade with me, you MUST PM me saying you canceled it! I am not psychic, and I have to enter everything into my records before you confirm or cancel. If you do not PM me, the records will say you confirmed it!

When depositing money for the first time, if you do not get a number, please PM or post here. I do forget to send people numbers sometimes, so I appreciate it if you remind me when I forget.

New policy was installed.

Kenido
In ALL claims of owing money, the bank's records are correct(and yes, I do keep detailed and untainted records). Unless a higher power on Gaia says so, you owe the bank/the bank owes you as much money as I say it does. I will not have any more disputes because someone claims I owe them more than I do, or they owe me less than they do. What I say, goes. I am not compromising the bank's fiscal security so I can be nice.

Important: The Reserve Bank of Gaia is, regrettably, currently overdrawn. This has been caused in part by a combination of loans and unexpected withdrawls. Do not be alarmed, however, as the bank is being supplied by my main account. This situation will NOT last a long time, and the pay off will be a great one, so please be patient in withdrawing money and taking out loans. Thank you. smile

ShyRomance did a credability check on our bank today. His results were, I believe, positive. wink Updated the post with a bit more info. I'm think about reorganizing the bank.. I know I'm a bit(X_x) long winded, and people don't like reading all that text. razz I'll work with my staff on a shorter intro and explanation on how our bank works.. perhaps a short version and an optional long version? xp

How to Deposit
In order to put your money in this bank, you must post here and send a trade to me with the word "Deposit" somewhere in the title. If Deposit is not in the title, I will take it as a donation to make sure this bank can pay its customers back. When you deposit, I will PM you with a number. Save this number on your computer and delete the PM. This is in case of a hacker trying to get money from this bank using your account.

How to Withdraw
PM telling me exactly how much you want to withdraw. Include the word "Withdraw" in the title or it may be ignored. Also, please include the number given to you when you deposited.

How to Take Out a Loan
To get a loan, you must deposit an item into our bank. This can be any item, but the estimated value must be equal or greater to your loan-- you cannot borrow more money than the item is worth. Loans have a non-cumulative interest rate of 2% per 30 days. If you are interested in a loan, post here with how much you want to take and the collateral you are going to use. If I accept, I'll send you the trade, and you add the item for collateral and we'll finish the trade. Finally, I'll PM you with how much you owe me every thirty days -- this is 2% of your loan and it is non cumulative. When you pay me back, I'll give you your item back

Checking Your Balance
PM me asking for your current balance. I keep all balances on a notepad file on my computer, backed up of course. Include "Balance" in the title. I will PM back with your current balance.

Our Charity Thread. Donators are listed there. 3nodding

Legal Crap
When sending items for any loan, storage, or donation, you agree that this account may wear anything he wishes too, but will not use your items in trade.

FAQ
How Do I Know You're Not Scamming?
Cause if I were caught(which would be very quickly), I'd be IP banned. I share an IP with my sister, Penden. Penden knows where I sleep at night.

Well Yeah, But Your Account...
Read the Credibility Section in the first post.

How Does This Bank Work?!
Like any private bank in the USA, I take your money and use it to invest. I will usually invest in donation letters, which can either give a quick profit in a short window of time or a long term profit about 6 months from now. Also, other items will be bought/sold, depending on what I think is good in the market at the time.

What If This Bank Fails?
Hopefully, I won't do anything stupid with my investments. However, if worst comes to worst, I will fall back on my main account to pay people if they want their money back. Also, I have many good friends that would help me. Any donations to ensure this bank doesn't fail are appreciated.

You SURE You Want An Interest Rate? What If I Deposit An Unholy Amount of Money?
Think about this one. I invest in donation letters. If you deposited some ungodly amount of money.. say, 100k.. think of what I could buy with that. I don't think I'd have too much of a problem earning you your interest rate. xp

Your concern is valid. Lemme add a list of friends people can ask if they aren't sure.
To all with concerns: Please read the FAQ and the first post before posting your question. I know it is a valid concern of yours, since this mule is obviously bare and lacking of authenticity. You may PM Penden or Kitsuta for validation.

crying I know, I'm not exactly the best at math. Lovely for a computer programmer, eh?

Explain please. I learned this percentage stuff two years ago. o_x;;

EDIT: I'll probably get someone to help me with the math later on if it becomes a problem. 3nodding

Not only that, but I've got TWO sisters who know where I sleep at night who would be banned if I got an IP ban. xd
