Bank
| Navigation: | Main Page → Civilized Areas → Facilities → Bank | |||
A bank is a facility equipped with a high-security vault. A bank's purpose is to securely hold money, valuables, and other objects for a town and its inhabitants. Banks provide banking and storage services for a fee. Banks are operated by local citizens called bankers, which are appointed by the mayor. The premises are protected by the local Town Security.
Although the bank in each town is independent, bankers maintain their customer database and communicate with one another through the MazeNet computer network, via secure applications. Every time a change occurs on any account, it is logged and updated in real-time. Banks also frequently hire couriers and armed escorts to deliver money and items in storage from one bank to the next; this courier delivery service is how customers may "retrieve" items from any bank, even if they were not deposited there in the first place.
It is an essential facility; one is guaranteed in each town in the Mazes.
Locations
Every town in the Mazes possesses a bank. The ones in Roazon and Fort Silver are abandoned.

Banking services
The resident banker offers banking services to any visitor who enters the lobby.
Banking services are available 24/7.
Two types of services are available: the bank account service and the item vault service.
Bank account service
Every character is assumed to be registered into the bank's database with a bank account. A bank account allows you to manage your money and avoid carrying large quantities of heavy and cumbersome cash. Some features are free, while others have a fee. Fees are debited directly from the account balance.

Item vault service
Banks offer customers the possibility to store objects in the bank's vaults and safe deposit boxes. A vault must first be purchased to have access to this service; size upgrades can later be purchased, increasing the number of items that can be stored inside.

| Upgrade item vault | Upgrades the size of the item vault. The first upgrade adds an extra 50 units of storage space, each subsequent upgrade after the first one adds another 100 units. Each upgrade must be purchased sequentially. The vault cannot be upgraded beyond 800 units. |
100 units: 1000 200 units: 1900 300 units: 2800 400 units: 3700 500 units: 4600 600 units: 5500 700 units: 6400 800 units: 7300 |

| Deliver shop purchases to vault | If you've made purchases in a shop but do not have the inventory space to take them, you can have them sent to your vault instead. The vault must have enough space to receive the purchases. This service costs more if you purchased an item in an intersection, as they do not have banks and must be delivered by courier to one. |
