The Asiapelagon Inter Archipelago Bank (known commonly as AIAB), formerly the East Asiapelago Bank, is a bank founded by the Lü Family. It is the largest banking company in Asiapelago, which had (and still has) controlled a monopoly in the banking sector at Asiapelago. The headquarters of the company is the AIAB Finance & Commerce Tower, the tallest building in Honk Gong standing at 514 metres.

History[edit]

The founder of the Lü Triad had many cousins and relatives. And one of them just happened to be a banker. After the founder got rich off the Triad, he lent some money to the banker to start a bank himself. The bank was officially founded on 1865 in Honk Gong. The original building can still be see, although it serves wealthy customers rather than the average citizens now. Originally, the founder of the bank intended it to be a place where Puffish traders and merchants to store their profits. But soon, as the average citizens earned more money, they registered bank accounts in the East Asiapelago Bank. By 1870, the company was able to open a branch in Muçao and in the Zhou mainland. When the bank's greatest CEO came in 1935, he decided to send his sons to open branches across Antarctica. When one of his heirs moved to Malesia, he also opened a branch of EAB there.

Despite the piles of money coming in, the Malesian branch soon faced some problems with the monopoly laws there. Forced by the government, the Malesian founder separated them into Marchbank, MHB bank and Private Bank. Instead of diminishing the wealth of the banking branch of the Lü family, their fortune increased by 350%. As an act of vengeance, once a member of the Malesian Lü family became the finance minister, he began to emblezzle the government's funds and storing them for his selfish purposes and to be donated to charity.

Meanwhile at Honk Gong, the whole company got renamed to it's current name and construction of the company's large headquarters began in 1997. The building, with the funding of the main Triad branch and other branches of the family, was completed 2 months before the scheduled opening. As soon as the headquarters opened, the AIAB's directors (most from the Lü family) and it's employees began a campaign of making masses of money. This is the reason why AIAB is currently so wealthy.

Operations[edit]

The AIAB is worldwide, meaning that there's at least 3 branch of it in every city. There's at least 5 in every countries in the Fanon World, even North Joseon.
