Welcome to the Iron Banking Corporation!
From renting a ship from our fleet, to contracting our members to crew your own, or even a personalised credit loan, we have a solution to fit your needs.
Looking for work? Good news! The Iron Bank is recruiting pilots, crew, and more.
The Iron Banking Corporation has a proud history, stemming from a need for freelancers to be easily accessible and available for hire, as well as a need to buy and sell anything with ease.
At its inception, the Iron Bank was little more than a loose coalition of a small number of freelancers from all walks of life that wanted to generate more jobs for themselves. It work surprising well, as the freelancers soon found themselves overwhelmed. They advertised and gained contacts from around the galaxy to whom they could outsource jobs to. This led to more pilots offering their services, from cargo haulers to mercenaries.
And thus, the Iron Bank was born: a solid foundation upon which empires are made.
Today, the Iron Banking Corporation offers its services and galaxy spanning range of contacts to any who can pay. Approved and used by the UEE itself, the Iron Bank has become a household name in the freelancer business, renowned for offering a professional and reliable service. It aims to, one day, be wealthy enough to manage its own section of space, ranging from a node or two, to perhaps an entire system of planets.
The Iron Banking Corporation offers a wide variety of professional services and goods to those able to pay the cost. Financial plans are available. For guidelines on conducting business with the Iron Bank, see the Charter.
Our most used service. Whether it be livestock, secure information, weapons, raw materials, or even bounty stasis pods, the Iron Bank can provide. We operate on a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy on the contents of cargo, and only ask for the amount of SCU you require. Leave the rest to us. Capture your bounty, but don’t have room to take your prize back to the nearest authority? Perhaps you were mining and found your cargo hold was full? The Iron Bank can offer a bespoke service, providing the best ship, pilot, and crew for any request. To provide this service for all manner of person, the Iron Bank offers a three tier service:
Need to get from A to B, but want to keep your mind focused on an important business meeting? Perhaps you want to host a party across the stars? With a variety of luxury ships and well trained crew at our disposal, we can supply you with the very best for your budget.
The Iron Bank takes payment not just in credits. As such, we have many resources to trade. From raw materials to missiles, cargo containers to entire ships, the Bank possess much of value that it is wiling to sell. There is also an option to sell directly to the Iron Bank, with no checks on the item/s necessary. Upon a successful agreement, not only with the Bank collect/deliver the merchandise directly from/to you, but we will also give you a 24 standard hour return policy.
Amongst the freelancers here at the Iron Bank, are many who will gladly put their life on the line to protect your assets. Should you require more specialised security needs than we can provide directly, we will source the relevant personnel and ships at no extra cost. Can you afford to lose a shipment to pirates? Wouldn’t it be worth the extra cost?
Stranded in the middle of nowhere with no fuel? Perhaps you were ambushed by pirates, and are running out of power fast? For all your emergency response needs, the Iron Bank is, again, ready to provide the service. Our specialised SAR team can mobilise within minutes, bringing life saving medical aid, extra fuel, and munitions. Once they are on scene, they will escort you to the nearest safe haven, where you may continue your journey. Lost? Be found, with the Iron Banking Corporation’s SAR team.
The rise of need for raw materials has resulted in the Iron Bank’s mining initiative. In addition to running our own small scale mining operations, we now hire out mining crews to work contractually. Found an untapped resource pocket? Don’t have the manpower or equipment to mine it? We can arrange to mine, transport, and refine anything you need dug up.
A lesser known fact of the Iron Bank, is that it supplies information about virtually anything you can think of. The benefit of being a Member of the Iron Bank, in this situation, is that we will not reveal any information that we might possess about you in regards to your Banking business. In all other situations, we have access to certain persons who can provide us with classified personnel information, with anything from ship numbers, to how much in debt an entity is. For legal reasons, we cannot reveal any sources of information.
Don’t see what you need? If you are willing to pay, there is always someone willing to do.
Q: What does the Iron Bank do?
A: The Iron Bank offers, on a contractual basis, the services of pilots, ships, and crews. This can be doing anything from moving cargo, to escorting freighters.
Q: Who runs the Iron Bank?
A: The Iron Bank is run by a Board, comprised of a number of Board members who have shown they can be trusted to run smaller aspects of the company.
Q: How do I become a Board Member?
A: By working hard, and being an active part of the Iron Bank. This means suggesting ideas of areas we could expand, designing banners, talking other organisations to bring more work in for our freelancers. Eventually, you will find yourself being given more responsibility. Respond well to this, and you’ll soon find yourself on the Board.
Q: How much does it cost?
A: Nothing! In fact, we pay you! Every contract will have a payment, of which a small percentage is taken for the Bank. The Bank will use this money to provide valuable resources to members of staff, such as discounted or maybe even free fuel, munitions, and landing fees. Once you have risen to the rank of Specialist, you also gain access to the Bank’s secure hangar/s and ships.
Q: What’s your stance on multi-orgs?
A: We are not an exclusive group, and we understand that you might be part of another org as your main one. As we judge things by rank, and not by role, there is no problem you having another main org. However, if you do work for the bank, we ask that you still keep to the rules, especially not attacking other members of the Bank. (You want to know how much we support it? One of our Board Members in an affiliate!)
