Fairisles occasionally branded as Fairisles Bank is a Harport-based multinational investment bank. It is the oldest private banking institution in Hetheland, having been founded by the Fairisles family in 1850. The bank's owners, the Fairisle-Bexley family, belonged to a ruling elite of 1850s Erneshire. Since 1850, the bank has been in continuous operation and still remains partly owned by the Fairisle-Bexley family. 
== History ==
The Fairisle-Bexley Company was formed by cousins Edward Fairisle and Augustus Bexley to capitalise on the relative economic gaining coming out of merchant banking. Fairisle, a diplomat for the Hethish government forged trade links with Altéa, Cauncia, Trebole and the Imperial Commonwealth nations of Alkland and Alexandria. Fairisles' diplomatic reach coupled with Bexley's extensive known of finances and accounts were instrumental in the development of the company into a successful merchant banking firm. 
After Edward Fairisles died of a brain aneurysm in 1867, Bexley took over the company, consuming Fairisles' share of the company. Edward Fairisles' son, Adam Fairisles, was elected as a member of parliament for Perthlochry West in 1868, and immediately battled Bexley in the courts for his father's share of the company. In 1869, Fairisles successes in obtaining his father's 50% share of the company, which had now grown massively as a merchant bank, having became the largest merchant bank in Hetheland and the colonies. 
In 1874, Adam Fairisles resigned as an MP in the parliament and took over the company alongside his cousin Steven Bexley as a partner. Fairisles moved the bank away from merchant banking and towards investment banking. By this time, Fairisles-Bexley began acquiring small banks throughout Hetheland.
