==Item Storage==Up to 5 [[:Category:Items|items]] of any size (as long as they can be carried in [[inventory]]) can be stored in a bank. There is no [[Decay]] and the items are only accessable by the account owner. Items can only be retrieved from the current location of the bank, unless you transfer the bank to a new [[Settlement token|token]], which takes 24 real life hours. You do not have to be a [[village]] member to have a bank at a token. Banks cannot contain items which already have something in them. You can have a bank account on each server. The item storage is not shared, so you can't access items you have in a bank account on an other server.
==Money Storage==You Up to 5 items of any size (as long as they can deposit all your be carried in [[moneyinventory]] ) can be stored in a bank. (there is no interest or tax on bank accounts).

The item storage is not shared between servers. This means you can't access items you stored on a different server, but neither do they count towards the 5 item limit.
== Money Storage== You can also keep [[categorymoney]] in the bank. Money can only be deposited at the token designated for item storage (see above), but can be withdrawn at any settlement token.
