Frankfurt Banking Association
Known as Frankfurter Bankenverein AG in the Allied German States, the Frankfurt Banking Association is not your daddy’s bank. This AA mega’s got their fingers in pretty much every major financial institution that isn’t already owned by Wuxing or one of the other AAAs, so there’s a good bet FBA either already owns your daddy’s bank or is in the process of trying to acquire it (via whatever means necessary). Also, don’t let the name fool you. Assuming FBA operates only in Europe (since Frankfurt is in the AGS) or that they only offer financial services (since, naturally, “Banking Association” is the other half of their name) is a good way to run into trouble when dealing with this conglomerate. FBA has a major presence across Europe, throughout the Middle East, and in most major cities across the globe. And if you’re just looking at banking services, then you’ll expect FBA’s enemies to only hire deckers for datasteals and currency-manipulation jobs—but FBA also controls legal, law enforcement, and security subsidiaries, among other things, so there’s a job for every kind of runner. FBA used to be owned by the great dragon Nachtmeister until he was killed back in 2062. So just be aware that whatever you get hired for—whether for or against FBA—you’ll have to contend with all the backing that a deceased great dragon’s wealth and influence can bring to the table.
