Tiantang Central Bank

The working man's answer to the more exclusive financial institutions, Tiantang Central is the bank used by most Corvo, rich and poor alike; jointly owned by all three Megacorps, Tiantang Central manages about a fourth of the cash flow of the entire Corvosphere, with financial operations conducted through a network of offices that span entire worlds and space stations.
There's a Tiantang Central branch in every town, city and district of Quanjie and every Tiantang sector; thence the famous slogans 'Central in Every Corner'. However, the institution's main officers are in Central Bank District in Wei, one of the safest, if not the safest place in the Corvosphere.
== Competition ==
Although Wei remains, after CS, the financial capital of Tiantang, any business worth its salt is always looking to expand, and the successful Wei firms are no exception. Many Wei institutions are opening increasingly ambitious ventures and franchises in other sectors, even slum areas like Zuihou or Nongchang, or off-system colonies.
Seeing these off-sector ventures as an attempt for independence from its dominance, Tiantang Central Bank is making a big tobuy out these expanding firms and bring them back into the fold - the hard way. The individuals CEOs of these companies have put up some resistance, but many are starting to bend to Central Bank pressure.
Now, there's a well-known and very tense power struggle between Tiantang Central and this informal group of expanding firms, who indeed want to grow beyond the larger bank's shadow - but are now faced with a choice between open war or utter absorption.

Tiantang Central has recently been the target of several hacking attacks, summarised at Amateur Bankers.
