History

Very little information was recorded during the first few months of t'jelle Banks creation. During the beginning however, the main banks in eRepublik were [t'jelle Bank]] and The Authority Bank of Commerce (ABC). Both attempted to gain as many depositors and borrowers as possible. At the time t'jelle Bank offered 5.5% bi-monthly compared to ABC's 3.25% monthly. By the second month however, t'jelle Bank increased the interest to 5% monthly. t'jelle Bank approached ABC with the proposal of starting the International Credit Ranking Standard which would assist in assessing the risk of loans. ABC approved and the ICRS was created.

WWIII / August 2009

With the onset of World War III, t'jelle Bank was forced to expand its sights outside of the US. Several marketing campaigns were released and soon, t'jelle Bank had over 100 depositors and over 1,000 Gold in deposits. Loan requests were filling the bank's inbox and interest rates skyrocketed to 10% monthly. During this time, several new banks opened in the game, started by fairly new citizens with very little capital.

August 2009 - January 2010

t'jelle Bank saw enormous growth during these months, quickly becoming the largest bank in eRepublik with over 5,000 Gold in deposits and nearly 300 depositors. t'jelle Bank also began dealing with government deals and was able to secure numerous financial deals with the US government. During a large "bank ban" by the admin that included numerous other banks, t'jelle was able to show its ability to remain secure even after losing an entire vault by spreading risk throughout numerous orgs and assets.

End

All organization's assets have been transferred to its owner Anaros.
