Edited by: EVE Banker on 12/02/2004 01:01:12 I am running a bank to provide a variety of services for customers. Mainly providing loans and saving accounts.
There is a credit rating system for players to help protect the bank from scammers. Players can deposit cash into their saving account in wich they would earn interest. They can also take out loans for an amount that is based off their credit.
For more information EVE Banker And sorry for the Angel Fire site, I'll move the site to an add free location as soon as the wife can be convinced lol.

An interesting read but as already stated you need to provide some solid assurances. It would be quite easy for you, to just diseapear as u are an alt. You need to prove your not just a Morbor mark II.

Edited by: EVE Banker on 12/02/2004 02:37:28 Well unfortunately I can't give any information that would prove that this is legit as no matter what I might state, some would consider it still part of a scam or lie.
But all I can say is that I am an honest, and am trying to provide a unique service to players. Who knows perhaps in the future they may implement game mechanics to better protect player base from scams and this would be a boon as people would not be so hesitant to try.
All I can hope is that some try, and hopefully build a customer base. As to making this an alt; it's for ease of keeping funds seperated. I also don't want to disclose information of my other character as it's the character I use for manufacturing and trade. The bank uses some of the money to invest in trade and manufacturing to provide the interest for the savings accounts. (Thats where the % on hand stat comes in, its a guarantee that I won't have that amount of cash tied up in investment.)
So you could see where if I gave the information on my main, it would jepordize my customers savings by making that char and even the corp I'm in a target.

All banks have to start somewhere ... if you are honest, good luck to you. But frankly, it's impossible to prove you are honest, we've all had our fingers burnt before, and not many people will take you on trust *regardless* of how many recommendations you get. Morbor had loads of them - Ponzi schemes always do, until they go fizzle.

Of course he's a Morbor MKII. I would only trust it if he was setting this up with an established character in an established corp who has been playing since launch.
Ok EVE Banker, if you are legit, i'd like to borrow 70 million ISK over 4 months. Oh whats that, you only take money?
Bah Morbor MKII most definately.

Another alt, ccp should disable the possibility to create more than one char on one account
Oh btw this is a scam nothing more

It is unlikely that the ability to have more than one character per account will ever be done away with, there are many legitimate reasons for having multiple characters.

There should be a way to see what other alts that player have :D.
Also a cool thing would be if you could check when a person LAST logged in.

Well I'm sorry that so many have indeed been burnt before and I understand everyone's hesitation to participate.
As stated before there really isn't anything that I can say that will change the mind of all the nay sayers.
To those whom wish to borrow billions, I guess you didn't read the part about haveing to build a credit score before any significant loans will be offered. The credit score will be raised by either haveing a savings account or by paying back smaller loans on time. This is just for the safety of other's money whom would be invested in said loans.
All that being said, this response was expected and its something that will be overcome over time. I believe that once some people find that this is legit they'll inform others.

Well never been burnt before by this type of business "scam", but you sound exactly like other scammers. If it was a fool proof idea then sure its good but until then its not.
Key word was establish a player base because thats what happened last time. Take a little while gain people's intrest investing millions then dogde the bullet on outta there. Whats your main characters name, corporation, how you think you can afford to take peoples money for returns etc. We want info plain and simple if you want us to belive yea. Fear The Bunny

It would be an interesting service ofcourse, but it can be hard for someone who is actually honest to start something off like this. But it might be worth a try. I'd invest a bit in it, see if it works out. If it doesn't, you loose a couple of mil isk, if it does work, all the better for everyone i guess

Edited by: Don ZOLA on 12/02/2004 16:56:20 i dont think u could efficently earn money to pay out in the end. lets say i put 500 mils on morphite plan. interest - 4% = 20 mils daily. if i put it on 3 months that makes 1.8 bill isk from interest + 500 mil i deposited = 2.3 bil isk to pay out ^^. i doubt u have time and organisation to make that much money. btw another important thing is to guarantee ppl for theirs money. if u could give me something for garantee i would put money in bank just to check is it working :P

In regards to the morphite payout with interest, please remember that the upfront fee is 40%. Leaving your balance of 300m wich collects the 4% daily interest. The thing about all the higher plans is that they are truly long term plans and don't start surpassing the other plans until a month worth of time.
After the point they start surpassing the other plans though they really pay off by making 2x the basic rate. (These extra funds of course compound upon themselves so you really are gaining cash faster than 2x.)
The biggest point of the upfront fees is to discourage someone from putting in money then taking cash out the next day with 1 days interest. While someone may do so, they would lose some of their initial deposit.

Well with that being said for intrest and all that, what about a database with a customer number we get??
So we can look how much we are making and such per day/week so we can tell when we want to pull money out or when we start to gain intrest and how much money we've invested in this.
Saying also if someone drops 100mil in a longer term plan. Could he/she add money to it without getting penitilized the inital transaction fee? Fear The Bunny

I remember a long time ago before Morbor there was a corp that tried to sell some bonds. Did that workout and if so did the people who bought them get paid back?

Edited by: EVE Banker on 12/02/2004 19:35:15 Edited by: EVE Banker on 12/02/2004 19:34:42 If I knew enough about databasing and implementing it over a website I would surely do that. I am keeping all information on an excel sheet and can give people their information via EVE-mail upon request.
As for depositing money into a pre-existing savings account. Each deposit is addressed the fee. The reason for this is that someone might only make an initial deposit of say 1m to open the account. Then deposit say 100m at a later date as a way of skipping the charge for the plan. The charge again is something that is used as an investment. Its money used to earn the interest.

Banking requires trust. But, in real life, trust is also reinforced with the threat of bodily harm and/or loss/destruction of property to the banker. In modern times, jail time keeps people in check.
In eve, with no checks and balances, you take zero risk and all profit. With this inbalance, only fools would participate. Granted there are a lot of fools in Eve so you could make yourself rich in a month without offering any service or goods.

Trust will just be something I'll have to earn. To be honest with everyone I'm not the least bit surprised with the reaction so far. It's something that I'll have to overcome one way or another.
Oh and if people wish to contact me ingame please send me an eve-mail if you request any additional information. Untill business picks up some I'll only be checking several times a day to update information in my books, and replying to customers or other inquries.
Those requesting a loan please send an eve mail also.

For those whom are interested, however feel that it's still to much risk of being scammed. Start small. Try perhaps a couple hundred thousand isk with the basic plan.
The worst that could happen would be that it was a scam(again it is not, but let me prove it) and you would be out a simple 100k isk.
Or you could find out to your amazement that this is totally legit and start making some cash and improving a credit rating upon wich you can borrow from the bank.

Ok, we all understand that EVE Bank will take some time before we all can trust it. Just think about the BIG Lottery idea. After all, we are giving money to the BIG Lottery player and can only hope that we win. I haven't checked my evemails yet, but I think you might want to have EVE Bank backed by some corporation (and have it shown in the forums).

Arleonenis, you are always such a negative whining little turd. How do you know its a scam? Thats just your opinion, why try to influence others?
EVE Banker, I wholeheartedly tribute your attempts to establish an EVE bank, but for now at least it may be more agro than it's worth for you until there are suitable game mechanics in place for you to send your doubters packing into oblivion.
Good luck, for now and the future - and lets hope that there are new game mechanics to make billing players and forming secure payment contracts soon.

The "BIG Bank" I might trust, but EVE Bank, no sorry.
The problem is as someone already pointed out - there is no way to make it work long time. You cannot earn the kind of money it takes to pay out 4% daily interest (or even 2% for that matter). It may work for a month or two while there are more people depositing than withdrawing but hardly longer than that.
Sorry, but I'll just write you off as just another scam attempt.

Again, I'm not going to accuse you of being a scammer.
But.
This is EXACTLY how Ponzi schemes operate. The first three, or six, or twelve investments pay off, generating your trust; but sooner or later - and the later it is, the more trust they've generated and the bigger the funds people have invested in them - that trust proves unworthy.
If I invest 100ISK and get back 120, then invest 1k and get back 1.2k, then 10k and get back 12k, then 100k and get back 120k ... it still doesn't prove any trustworthiness whatsoever on your part. This is unfortunate, if you are indeed honest... but it's true, nevertheless.

It's sad but that also true. It's those scams in wich are really hurting not only this business that I'm trying to start up, but also hurts those whom are wary to try the survice because of fear of being scammed.
Not that it will remove any doubt from people whom have already believe this to be a scam, but I'm going to run a special for the rest of Friday 13th.
For the rest of today any savings accounts opened today will be upgraded one lvl at no additional fee. This includes any accounts that have already been opened before this anouncement.

Read, read again, write it down, read it a couple more times, and then carve it on your forehead in big letters.
Yes, it's possible in theory for an EVE bank to be a non-scam proposition. But a scam would look, sound, and feel *exactly* like the EVE bank does. Ergo, don't touch it with a ten-AU pole.
