Bank Accounts

Bank accounts are where you can safely store credits and get some interest. You are also allowed multiple accounts (up to 5).

You can open a Bank account by selecting the Military Enagaments option. Under there is a subheading "Market." One of the options there is Bank. After Bank in selected there is another option on the bottom of the left menu "Make Bank Account"
You will be asked to name the account. This is necessary since you can have multiple accounts. You are also asked what type of account. Here is the breakdown:

Cheapo - Starting interest rate is 1% - no fees
Mid - Starting interest rate is 5% - fees on Creation of account (says initial deposit and withdrawal fee but there isn't one)
Interest Builder - Starting interest rate is 15% - (says initial deposit and withdrawal fee but there isn't one)

Interest is given once per day. So why have more than one bank account? There is a max that a Bank account can hold. The Max is 9,223,372,036,854,775,808. (that's 2 to the 63 power for all you math geeks)

There are two market items that can be used to affect bank accounts. They can be accessed under Ye Olde Market, then "Market items" on the left menu:

Increase The Interest Rate - This will increase the interest rate on an account owned by you by 5% up to a max of 30% ( I have only tried this on cheapo accounts I am not sure whether the other accounts have different maximums). You can only use this on your first 2 accounts.

Decrease the other's interest rate - This will decrease the interest rate of an account owned by someone else. The ammount it decreases is TBD down to TBD.

It will only let me have 3 so I guess that's changed since the upgrade?
