Informative Pamphlet Regarding Freidlicher Bank Accounts

Introduction

Banking in Freidlichen is a unique, esoteric experience. Contrary to popular belief, a Freidlicher bank account is not just for the super-wealthy, or for criminals and dictators! In fact, though the Secure Banking Act of 1922 protects the identities of all Freidlicher bank clients, banks will not accept money from dubious origin, and will not do business with clients who may endanger the reputation of the bank.

Freidlicher Bankgesellschaft was founded in 1659 in the city of Altenberg, Freidlichen. As a result of its merger with the second and third largest banks in the nation, FBG has a virtual monopoly over the banking climate in Freidlichen, something the federal government has turned a blind eye to (the fact that most government officials maintain secret FBG bank accounts may have something to do with it).

Why Bank Freidlicher?

Many, if not all nations, have some sort of income or estate tax in place so that the government can siphon off funds from the individual. In the Freidlicher system of banking, every account is secret—if the banker discloses any information to anyone without the client’s consent, he or she faces up to five years in prison and a fine of 500,000 bundesmarks. Just because the account is secret, though, doesn’t mean that the client does not pay taxes—offshore bank accounts usually are still required to be declared by the nation’s government, and FBG does not do illegal business with any client.

A Freidlicher bank account, as it is secret, can be used as a safe storage point for funds in the event of a predatory lawsuit. We pride ourselves in establishing affordable accounts for doctors and people in high-up places who may be sued unfairly and lose the majority of their assets to unscrupulous lawyers. In these cases, a safe and secure Freidlicher bank account means that the individual who is sued has a fallback reserve of funds.

FBG bankers adhere to strict codes of conduct regulating how many accounts they may oversee. Banking in Freidlichen is a highly personalized experience, and bankers (called account overseers) are also skilled at making the client money through skillful investing. Of course, should the client simply want a secure environment to store their money, we welcome that as well.

Because we lend and bank on the international market, interest rate fluctuations do not affect us in the same way they affect normal domestic banks. Should the interest rates in the client’s home country plummet, he may be more inclined to open an account with us, where his money will be safer.

The main reason for opening an account is in fact our safety. Freidlicher law demands high capital adequacy. The bundesmark is one of the world’s most secure currencies, backed by about 60 percent gold reserves and with almost zero inflation. As a result of the Secure Banking Act of 1951, all deposits are insured, and in the extremely unlikely event that the bank goes under, depositors can be reimbursed for up to 95 percent of their assets (depending on the account). Freidlichen has never fought a war--ever. It is neutral in all matters of foreign policy, and so presents a unique opportunity for investors and bank clients to store money without fear of a major market collapse.

Who Can Establish a Bank Account?

Anyone! While it is true that corporations and high-up individuals often keep their money in Freidlicher bank accounts, anyone who wants a safe, secure, and personal banking experience may open an account.

What Sort of Accounts are Available?

Standard Freidlicher Account: Available for the reasonable fee of 900 universal standard dollars, the standard account will be opened with a subsidiary bank of Freidlicher Bankgesellschaft, though the money from the account can be withdrawn from any FBG branch. This option offers the lowest minimum balance ($25,000) while still retaining the qualities that make the Freidlicher bank account great—personal service and a secure environment.

Quality investment advice is available from the client’s experienced personal account overseer for no additional cost, and it is possible (and recommended) to take advantage of the account overseer’s experience by buying and selling shares and bonds directly from the client’s account.

Breakdown:
-Minimum Balance: LOW
-Monetary Security: EXCELLENT
-Account Secrecy: EXCELLENT
-Investment Opportunities: EXCELLENT

Premium Freidlicher Account: The premium account is mainly for people who want to save and invest their money to grow their personal savings—not to watch their money grow via interest alone. The account can be passed on to children, and is best for clients who wish to grow their savings over a longer period of time. A minimum of $100,000 worth of deposits are necessary to open this account, and the one-time opening fee is $1,200.

The premium account offers a wealth of investment opportunities for the lowest cost. The client’s personal account overseer has essentially spent his entire life managing the monetary assets of other people and can invest based on the client’s specifications. The client also has the option of letting his or her overseer invest as he sees fit, secure in the knowledge that the investment will be a safe and profitable choice. FBG bankers can invest client assets in monetary investments, bonds, stocks, precious metals, and structured products.

Breakdown:
-Minimum Balance: LOW
-Monetary Security: EXCELLENT
-Account Secrecy: EXCELLENT
-Investment Opportunities: SUPERB

Secured Freidlicher Account: The secured account is a cheaper alternative to the numbered account, and it requires less of a minimum payment to be accepted. Rather than being sponsored by the FBG, which offers up to a 75 percent return in the event of a bank failure, the secured account is offered by the National Bank of Freidlichen, which offers a whopping 110 percent return in the event that the bank fails or the money is lost in some way. This means essentially that the client’s money is so secure that we can say confidentially that we will pay them in the event that something should happen to their assets while they are in our care.

As this account is designed primarily for individuals who want their money secure in our hands, investment opportunities are more limited, though they still exist. The client’s account overseer can invest in bonds alone, and the National Bank offers bond funds, diversified and with differing maturities. The secured account is available for the one-time fee of $1,700, and the balance for the account must not be under $224,000 at any time.

Breakdown:
-Minimum Balance: MEDIUM
-Monetary Security: SUPERB
-Account Secrecy: SUPERB
-Investment Opportunities: GOOD

Numbered Freidlicher Account: Offered by FBG, the numbered account is the very definition of the secret bank account—the only time the client is required to use their real name is when submitting the application form—after that time, all transactions are done using the twelve-digit code number, and the client’s real name is not used on any forms, nor is it known to the account overseer (nor anyone in the world, save for the Freidlicher Banking Regulation Bureau, which is not permitted to gain access to the client’s name except for the purposes of a criminal investigation).

Investment opportunities are the same as those gained with the premium account option, and insurance is provided to reimburse clients for up to 85 percent of their assets in the event of a bank failure or similar calamity. The price for the numbered account is a one-time fee of $4,000, plus $100 every year the account remains open, and the balance for the account must not reach a level under $250,000 at any time.

Breakdown:
-Minimum Balance: MEDIUM
-Monetary Security: EXCELLENT
-Account Secrecy: OUTSTANDING
-Investment Opportunities: SUPERB

How Do I Establish my Account?

The standard and premium Freidlicher bank accounts can be opened by mail, though a passport is necessary in order to open any account. The client must physically travel to Freidlichen to open up a numbered or secured account, though this trip is often described as an experience in itself. This trip occurs after the application has been accepted.

Prospective clients will meet with the manager of the branch bank. During this meeting, the manager will ask a number of questions:

-Are you who you say you are?
-Why are you here; what are your intentions?
-Where did your deposit come from?
-How reputable are you?
-Are you a risky customer?

Generally these questions are a formality—anything the client has to hide has likely already been found by the time they enter the doors of the branch. Periodic checks are done on the activities of clients.

How Do I Get My Money Once the Account is Open?

Withdrawing money from a Freidlicher bank account is done differently from a normal bank, and is done in a number of ways to ensure secrecy is maintained.

The Freidlicher Cash Card functions as an electronic traveler’s check of sorts. When the client visits a branch bank, he or she may place up to $200,000 on his or her Cash Card, which can be replenished by visiting any branch bank. This method of payment is completely anonymous, as the card links directly to the Freidlicher Ministry of Finance, which issues the cards and removes the money from the client’s account to pay for the transaction.

Traveler’s checks may also be used, in addition to bank transfers, in which the branch bank in which the client’s assets are being held directly transfers funds to any other account in the world with no name attached (the name of the bank will be used).

Of course, the most secure way of withdrawing monetary assets is to travel to the bank itself and withdraw directly, though this is impractical for clients who live great distances away.

How Do I Close My Account?

While we would prefer that the client closes the account in person with a reason, closing by mail is also possible. A flat closing fee of $1,000 will be taken from the client’s account if there is not a valid reason for the closing of the account.

Can I Deposit Valuables in an Account?

Deposits of non-monetary assets are welcome, and will be stored in safe deposit boxes in the FGB branch in Bad Nenndorf, Freidlichen. This particular branch, nicknamed Fort Nenndorf, is considered to have one of the most secure vaults in the known world.

The vault itself is two miles underground, protected by an array of state-of-the-art systems which, for security reasons, cannot be completely disclosed. Roughly three hundred meters of concrete stands between the vault and the tunnel leading to it, the tunnel itself also protected by two like doors and rigged to release bursts of tear gas should the perimeter be breached.

As we cannot invest valuables, this option does not have an account name attached to it. If this is the option the client wishes, it may be specified in addition to or instead of a normal account name.

Application Form

Before traveling to Freidlichen to open a secured or number account, the prospective client must submit the following application form to the Freidlicher Ministry of Finance. Should the client wish to open a standard or premium account, this is the only step necessary, though a visit to Freidlichen is still recommended to get acquainted with the individual account overseer.

Establishing Branches of Freidlicher Bankgesellschaft In Your Nation

FBG is always looking to expand into foreign nations, and the economic benefit to gained by having such a massive corporation base itself in your nation is reason enough to be interested in the opportunity. Because Freidlicher banking laws do not extend themselves to cover branch banks based in other nations (such a thing would be a breach of national sovereignty), branch banks based in foreign nations must, in essence, become Freidlander territory, much like an embassy would.

Of course, no weaponry will be permitted inside the bank except the sidearms carried by bank security guards (and even these are optional for the nation in question, though that nation will then have to provide for the security of the bank and its contents), so the security risk to the nation is nil. Bank personnel will be hired locally, except for account overseers, who will be flown in from Freidlichen itself. Passports will need to be provided to prove that the personnel being hired are in fact citizens of the nation in question. The same functions preformed by the branch banks in Freidlichen can be preformed in the foreign branches, and secured or numbered accounts can be opened in any foreign branch of an FBG bank.

Inquiries about establishing bank branches in your nation should be made to the Ministry of Finance in Freidlichen.

From: Pietro Caccini

As a member of the Caccini family, it is expected that I hand the profits from my business ventures over to the family accounts. I do not see why I must part with the money I have earned myself, through my own hard work. As such, I wish a secret account on which my father and his accountants have no hope of laying their thieving hands. I assume that there are no circumstances in which you will alert them to the existence of such accounts, their values, or any material stored at your bank -- should they approach with suspicion they may lie about requiring accounts to be reported to the government. You will note that there are no such laws and this is indeed simply an attempt to manipulate foreigners into bending to their will.

Relevant information about our laws on this manner are easily found via access to the Noble Congressional Library. I trust you will make yourself familiar if you do not trust my promise that we do not require the declaration of offshore accounts.

I can swear to you that my family will eventually notice my lack of investment in the House and its own ventures, and will most certainly come to you once they learn of your services and discover that I have been to your country recently.

(If so) What are your goals for investment: I fear I do not understand how investors operate, as I have previously used my family's people to make all decisions on my behalf, so however you would ensure that my investment comes to the greatest benefit should suffice. Please do not invest in entertainment ventures that may be in direct competition with Caccini Entertainment Media -- this is the most important.

Subj: Premium Account

As you seem to be in need of more of an "escape" account and have sufficient funds to allow the purchase of one, I would highly recommend our numbered account option rather than the premium account. The premium account is more geared towards customers with a set of concrete ideas about how they would like their money invested, and as you seem to value security more than investment strategizing, the numbered account would be best.

Considering the circumstances, it may be best for us to send a bank representative to you so that your family does not have to know the account has been opened. If you have no preferred meeting point, your personal residence should suffice.

If a numbered account is what you suggest, then that is what I want.
Please make the change accordingly. I will also accept a meeting with
a representative at a more public venue if that is not a problem. If he
should happen to be noticed having come to my residence, suspicions
would be raised. However, I frequently invite foreign visitors to dinner
in an effort to show them the hospitality of our people. It wouldn't be
out of the ordinary for me to dine with someone I happened to meet
at the airport.

I hope this will work out. The majority of my family are barely above
common thieves and I cannot abide the greed that is more important
even than their own blood. The trouble you may be taking to help me

The hazard pay finally came through for Jo Tanks - $30000 for a month spent mucking about in the jungle. Ugh - just the memory of it made her nauseous! Jo looked over the newspaper, then noticed the advert from Freidlicher Banks. Hmm... invest money abroad? Away from the JT Credit Union? That wouldn't be a bad idea at all.

"Hey, Aimee? Yeah, it's Jo. Listen - I've got $30000 JT that I want to convert to standard dollars. Yeah, $26000's okay with me. I'll see you there..."

After three days, and a $100 bribe for the postal service, a letter arrived at the FBG with a copy of a passport, a typed-out form, and 34 $100 bills.

Initial deposit: $25000
Are we allowed to invest the money: No
*the name on my passport says Jo Tanks, but that's just what my company calls me. My name is Jo.

OOC: Why bills? Because the credit union would charge a $2 JT = $1 US rate, so Jo would have to go to a black-market currency exchanger, in this case Aimee Shipyards, who would use bills, rather than issue checks, for obvious reasons. Apart from the black-market aspect - which is tolerated - all is legal.

Congratulations on your first steps into the wide world of Freidlicher banking! As we can see that you also have a number of valubles to deposit, we highly recommend that you travel to Freidlichen personally to deposit them in our secured vault in the city of Bad Nenndorf. We find that generally, account secrecy is lost in the transfer of important documents, as they often have names attached--depositing them yourself will ensure that secrecy is maintained. Your items will occupy safe deposit boxes 611-614.

As the balance for your account cannot ever drop below $25,000, it is important to note that you cannot currently withdraw any money from your account, and as you have not opted to invest, it will grow from interest alone--a slow process.

Dear Herman Blau,

We, the senate of Ypsilon Indi System, are willing to offer you one of our small island provinces to establish a bank.

In return we request 5% of all the revenues your bank generates and a Premium Account in which money will be deposited to fund secret government projects.

As for the security, Ypsilon Indi Military Industries will provide all the security personnel and equipment.

Since being located on a island, the Ypsilon Indi Navy will detach a medium sized cruiser for increased security measures.

Yours sincerely,
The Senate

Aimee Shipyards wondered. What did Jo need with that money? She wasn't a gambler, which was the only serious possibility Aimee could think of for spending that much money. Then she saw the ad. Well, why not? It would be a good place to preserve money. She was an attorney, after all; her money would be trusted...

Subj: Establishment of a Branch

The benefit gained from having a bank in your nation is lost entirely by having it isolated from society and demanding a portion of the revenues. The mere presence of it will stimulate economic growth, so the tax is unnecessary.

Should you wish to establish the branch bank in your capital city, we would be more than happy to oblige, but as the current offer stands to lose our organization a substantial amount of money, we cannot accept.

To: Freidlicher Ministry of Finance, Banking Division
From: Vernon Pellerin - CEO, Kereptecean Holdings Conglomerate
Concerning: Creation of a bank account within Friedlichen

For over 50 years, the Kereptecean Holdings Conglomerate has maintained an excellence of investment for it's customers. We now have substantial investments in nearly every major company in the world, including Kereptecean General Transportation. Through these investments, our Conglomerate gains large revenues in the form of stock dividends. We have been looking for quite some time for a place to create a "rainy day fund", so to speak, and the Friedlichen Bank has been found to be acceptable for this purpose.

The creation and initial deposits of this account would have to take place through various companies under the control of the Kereptecean Holdings Conglomerate. These companies will be listed at the end of this message, along with the amount they will be contributing. This account would have to be completely secret for various tax purposes within New Kereptica, which is why we have chosen the Numbered Freidlicher Account for this purpose. One qualm we have however is that the stored funds will not be completely insured in this even, a feature of lesser accounts. We ask if it would be at all possible to combine the anonymity of the Numbered Account with the insurance of the Secured Account. Even the creation balance in this account will far outstrip the minimum for both accounts combined.

Owing to the requisite formality of this account, and the necessity that it be managed to the utmost frivolity, it will have to be under my direct control, and therefor in my name. Consequentially, the companies mentioned above and listed below cannot be informed of the reason for their deposit, nor can the action of the deposition be confirmed with them.

As mentioned above, the primary purpose of this account is it's inherent stability, and as such, the contents therein cannot be invested in any way. This would completely undermine the liquidity of the account, as well as comparatively compromising security. In keeping with this, I cannot travel personally to Friedlicher to open the account, nor can I actually have any connection with the bank in person.

The Senate, after long discussion, has approved your counterproposal and agrees to build the bank in the Capitol. It will be constructed next to the Military Headquarters of Ypsilon Indi.

As for the tax, is there a possibility to receive only 1.5 percent of the revenues made by that particular branch in Ypsilon Indi System.

From: Ministry of Finance, Banking Division
Subj: Numbered/Secured Account

The reason the secured account is insured for 110 percent is because it is offered by the National Bank of Freidlichen--the NBF does not offer numbered accounts, so it is not possible to combine these services. However, you should rest assured that in the extremely unlikely even that FBG goes out of business, it will be a drawn-out process, and there will be plenty of time to withdraw the full amount.

Unfortunately, you must travel to Freidlichen (or one of our branch banks) to complete the next leg of the journey. If we may make a suggestion, bringing your family along and hiding the trip under the guise of a vacation works for the majority of our clients.

Re: Opening a branch

We have secured permission for bank branches in Hong Kong, Singapore, Saigon, Bandar Seri Begawan, and Manila; however, we would require a 1% royalty on bank fees. This is not a tax; instead, it would simply involve you raising your bank fees in branches in the Confederacy and the additional money going to the coffers of the local governments.
Would this be acceptable?

Re: M.A.C.

We have not 'merged' with M.A.C. Heavy Industries. We're involved in a strategic partnership, in which we set up a jointly-owned subcontractor, merged our air freight companies, and established production facilities in Anghele and the CoDC. The final step is to form our joint reserve account.
Speaking of which, how is my account doing?

OOC: I just noticed I accidentally asked for a premium account for Boris Rotorcraft, when I really wanted a numbered account. Heck, I even made the subject 'numbered account'! Mind editing it and giving a client number? That's the main reason for this post; the other is for a minor correction in terms (and for PR purposes)
