The Bank of Aqilia is a lending house in the Free Province of the same name that has been traditionally managed by the House of Agnolo. In ages past there were several of these institutions, Aqilia is one of the only ones that remain and certainly the largest and most well-known. It has survived by its extremely prudent underwriting policies and by buying out its healthiest competitors.
The world over, it is the primary competitor of the banking system managed by the Church of Westrun, and it is very much unlike it in one respect -- usury. Where the Oxmen simply charge fees for deposits and for the handling and clearing of various writs, the Bank of Aqilia makes its profits by charging interest on the loans that it underwrites. Repayment is assured by the longstanding policy of the Bank to hire adversaries and fund competitors of those nobles who are delinquent payers.
The current manager of the bank is Lord Jacen Agnolo.
Its magister is Perfetti.
Its chief of sages is Lynet.
The Bank of Aqilia is valued by the Oxmen at 687 gold bars.
