Directorate of Financial Services
The Great Star Empire, through contacts in the Imperial Standard Bank (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Imperial_Standard_Bank), has decided to invest in the Galactic Bank.
Director of Economic Affairs Bijunsin Purinthansin has approved an opening sum of 2,000,000,000 Imperial Klars, which roughly equals 3,513,600,000 dollars, to be entered under an account entitled "Allech-Atreus Foreign Reserves."
The Directorate of Financial Services is very happy to do business with the bank. If there is any need to contact the Imperial Standard Bank, please make contact with the Allech-Atreus United Nations Consul Brynn Seet.

OOC: Provided that the Republic is not at war with the GE (and, for the record, it isn't), there is no blacklist.

Since it's a nominally secret account, and only members of the Directorate know about it, we don't believe that security features will be necessary. The Empire is very careful about our finances- one of our national banks collapsed recently, and we were forced to execute several officials who were complicit.
We thank you for your consideration.

If you pay 10% interest on deposits, and take 12% on loans, you fail to consider inflation. That is a 2% profitability, with a 3% inflation rate you make no money and can't keep your doors open. What are you investing the deposits in that gives you consistently better than 15% yields, I do not want to put my money in an institution that is forced to close its doors.

OOC: Where did you get the inflation note from? There isn't any mention of inflation.
IC:
Our paperwork indicates that we did not specify the interest rate for our deposit. We would seek an 8% compound interest rate.
Are your rates compounded annually, monthly, weekly, or daily? Furthermore, the Directorate is interested in the investment of our funds, and would like an idea as to where they would be so invested.
On another note, if the bank is interested in investing their holdings in the Imperial stock exchanges, the Directorate would be more than glad to open accounts for the bank in any of the three stock exchanges (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Commerce_and_Business_in_Allech-Atreus)- the IGE, the KRE, or the CSM. As a warning, the only market we can guarantee stability in is the Imperial Grand Market.
Please let us know if we can do business.

You have, unfortunately, failed to take in to account the high regulation of our economy, and the most-likely equally excellent regulation of other such economies. When currency is entirely electronic in nature, we are able to regulate the amount and circulate of such easily - the amount of currency created is set to a goods standard, thus, as goods get more prolific, so does money - in perfect lockstep.
Other economies may suffer inflation, but the Republic's economy has suffered absolutely minimal inflation for centuries now, and will continue to do so into the future. We are currently running such.. generous terms in order to establish the bank as a long-term, trustworthy institution, backed by the stability and economic strength of the Republic.

Subject: RE: Request for an account
The eight-percent compound interest request has been verified, and a deposit of 30.19 trillion verified. We are prepared to set up a series of security features - a password, a retinal and DNA scan, fingerprinting, and, of course, what we like to fondly term the 'hidden password', which allows us to imprint a particular set of nonsense phrases within a person's subconscious, and only allow a person with those phrases remaining to access the account.

TO: Allech-Atreus
FROM: The Republic Galactic Bank
Our interest rates are compounded annually, and funds will primarily be invested in safe ventures, such as a possible investment within the International Trade Hub, and we are also considering investments into various storefronts and shipyards across the galaxy. Furthermore, a certain sum will be leant to Republic provinces if they so require it, and a minimal amount will be invested in riskier ventures.
