Introduction

In the bustling world of LS-RP, managing your finances effectively is crucial for success. Whether you're a business owner, a law enforcement officer, or just navigating the city, the bank system provides essential services to help you manage your money. Here's a detailed guide to understanding and using the bank system on LS-RP.

Bank

Why should you use a bank?

Banks provide an easy way to store your money and, more importantly, allows you to earn more money via interest on the money that you store there. Your job will pay into your paycheque each hour and you can collect these by visiting banks. Check out the collecting paychecks section of this guide for more information on doing so. You can also open a savings account and accrue a large amount of money depending on how long you keep your account open for. Check out the savings section for more information.

 

The current interest rate for saving money in your regular bank account is as follows:

 

0.1% on any amount up to $19,999,999

0.05% on any amount larger than $20,000,000

 

Locations

There are three banks which can be used throughout San Andreas. Two of which reside in Los Santos are in Rodeo (The Rodeo Bank) and near the stadium in East Los Santos (The Hoover Bank). A third can be found in Palomino Creek.

Cheques

Once you have finished your job which pays you via the cheque system, you will need to follow a few simple steps to generate a cheque for that amount:

1. Use the command "/cheque paycheck yes". This converts your earnings into a check.
2. Use the command "/cheque display all". This will give you a list of your check, including the one you just generated.
3. Get your check ID from the list. You need just the number -- nothing else!
4. Use the command "/cheque cash [checkid]", using the check ID you just found.
5. Wait until the next payday. You can use the "/time" command to see the server time; payday occurs every hour.
6. Go to one of the banks, and walk into the $ sign to collect your money. You don't have to do this every time you cash a check; you can just leave the money to build up and collect it after you've cashed a few paychecks.

Savings

Savings is a system which allows you to invest your money into a savings account which generates interest on every payday. The longer you keep your savings in the account, the larger the amount of money you will earn in interest.

 

The current interest rate is: 0.5%

 

The downside to using the savings system is that all other bank commands are disabled whilst you have an active savings account. This means you won't be able to deposit or withdraw from your bank account whilst your savings account is open. Players can, however, still pay money into other people's accounts regardless of whether they have their savings account open or not by using the "/transfer" command.

 

How it works

To begin using the savings system, head to any of the aforementioned banks and type "/savings" to which you'll be presented with the following information:

 

 

To deposit cash into your savings, simply type "/savings [amount]" and your account will be opened. You cannot deposit more into your savings account once you have opened it and withdrawing your savings will return your investment + the interest you gained on it. To withdraw your savings and to close your account, simply type "/savings" once more.

 

 

 

Note: You can only deposit between $50,000 and $100,000 into your savings account when you first open the account. The maximum amount of money your savings account can earn is $20,000,000 (Twenty Million Dollars)

 

Your savings account will gain interest on every payday that you are online (on the hour every hour) and are entitled to. Your bank statement will show how much you have earnt. Remember that you cannot use your bank account whilst savings are active, so you will have to carefully manage your money. Withdrawing your savings will result in you having to start again should you wish to open up the savings account in the future, so remember that the longer you leave it, the more money you will earn.

ATM

ATM's were recently added onto the server and have been placed all over the map of San Andreas. This gives players easier access to their bank accounts so they can make bank transactions without having to visit a bank. Unfortunately there's no GUI at the moment and it's very limited when it comes to what you can actually do with it.

Nice one.

I think the percentages are wrong. It's 1%, not 0.1%, same goes for other percentages in the guide. Values in-game are already divided by 100.

 

Nevermind.
