More trustworthy than Westpac.

A secure banking service, an encrypted wallet, and new ways to make (and lose) money.

Overview

When docked, this OXP adds Witch Bank (under "Organisations" on the F4 screen) which allows one to deposit and withdraw money.

Warning!

This is a Bank! Being a bank, they are after your money, and the default is set to them helping themselves to it.

Unless you reset it, you will find your money draining away into their coffers. You have been warned!

Musings

With the Witch Bank OXP (currently with teething problems), we now have three different banks in Oolite! The Bank of the Black Monks lends you money at a pinch and then does you in if you do not repay. The Lave First Finance Corp lent you the money to buy your ship (and has a different mechanic for calculating repayments). And WitchBank takes deposits. It seems that there should be at least one bank doing all three!

Also, (apart from the Black Monks) none of the banks share names with those advertised in the YAH ads. It would be nice to see their presence in the game (Bank of Ensoreus, Royal Bank of Beanen, etc.).

It is as yet unknown how this OXP works with First Finance's loan, Diplomancy's taxes and the Ship's Accountant OXP.

One usually ends up making a little more money. But if you let them start grabbing your money on deposit from the outset, you can't invest those credits to make more money!
