'''Banque Saint-Germain Limited''', also commonly referred to as '''BSG''', is a Swiss private banking and wealth management group, founded in 2001. It is currently majority-owned by [[Minerva Holdings]] and was formed in its present state in 2029, when it was reconstituted and restructured as a Monaco ''société anonyme'' (SA). As of December 2034, the bank had operations in 24 countries and more than $350 billion in assets under management.
'''Nanyang Commercial Bank Limited''' (Traditional Chinese: 南洋貿易銀行), also commonly referred to as '''Nanyang Bank''' and '''NCB''', is a Hong Kong multinational banking and financial services group, founded in 2002 by [[Chan Hon Wah]]. It operates through subsidiaries in several countries, primarily in East Asia and South East Asia regions.


BSG is generally regarded to be one of the most opaque banks in the world. Various financial services regulators, including the [[United States Securities and Exchange Commission|US Securities and Exchange Commission]], the [[Financial Conduct Authority (UK)|UK Financial Conduct Authority]], and the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority, have criticized BSG for its "lack of transparency" and "uncooperative stance". In response, the bank has stated that it takes its role as a financial fiduciary seriously, and as such, its "foremost duty" is to safeguard the privacy of its clients under all circumstances. For this reason, BSG has been reported to be "the bank of choice for the international oligarchy".
As of December 2034, NCB had total assets of $486.7 billion at the end of 2023, making it the eighth-largest bank in Asia by assets. It consistently ranked amongst the top 20 "safest banks in the world" by the magazine ''Global Finance''. The bank's global network has grown to comprise more than 500 branches and representative offices in 14 countries and regions. These include more than 200 branches in Indonesia under its subsidiary NCB NISP, and over 70 branches and offices in Mainland China, Hong Kong and [[Macau]] under NCB China, NCB Bank (Hong Kong) and NBC Bank (Macau) respectively. A substantial proportion of the bank's client base has ties to the casino and online gambling industries.  


As of February 2034, BSG required a minimum of $25 million in investable assets to commence a new banking relationship. Existing clients are required to maintain a monthly average balance of $20 million across their banking and investment accounts. In order to qualify for the premium Solitaire service, clients must maintain a monthly average balance of $100 million.
NCB also has a presence in the United States, Canada and Australia, catering primarily to the overseas Chinese diaspora. In 2033, NCB CEO Lewis Lam was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President [[Josh Hawley]] for its work in "revitalizing under-served Asian-American communities throughout the United States".


<br><blockquote>'''''<big>"It's not a secret that BSG is a criminal enterprise whose principal business is money laundering.

NCB has been accused by various regulators of being a front for the [[Hung Hom Triad]] and other secret societies. It is generally known that NCB's major clients include various mafia organizations from Japan, Italy and Morocco, as well as unlicensed gambling operators from Cambodia and Myanmar.

The bank has been the subject of more than 20 investigations by government and law enforcement agencies in various jurisdictions, including the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.

According to NCB, the attempts at prosecuting the bank have amounted to a "witch hunt" and are "rooted in racist ideas". In 2032, NCB countersued the US Department of Justice for malicious prosecution and discrimination, with the case ultimately being settled out of court. NCB Chairman H. W. Chan and CEO Lewis Lam have repeatedly stated that the bank performs "rigorous due diligence checks" on its clients.
