History
The bank developed as a means of providing money and assistance to pilgrims on the Shouft. Previously travellers had to carry all the cash they needed to fund a journey of many months, and so pilgrims quickly became a target for robbers and piratesplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigPiracy
Piracy has always been a danger for shipping around the world. Throughout history merchants have been preyed upon by desperate or greedy fishermen, by rogue naval ships acting as privateers, as well as organised fleets dedicated to larceny.

The system originally worked using credit notes required to be carried by the pilgrim. An amount was deposited by the bearer in their home city, and cash could be withdrawn an any Shouft Bank branch. Confirmation was made by signature, and the amount noted on the credit note. This worked but was subject to fraud, and most importantly suffered from damage or loss of the credit note.
Modern system
In the modern system, an amount in cash is deposited in the home bank, and credit authorisations for set amounts are sent to multiple branches along the traveller's planned route. Each pilgrim carries a Shouft medallion, with a unique number. They also memorise a five-digit authorisation number. These, plus a confirming signature, are required to withdraw a limited amount in cash from any bank holding a credit note. Credit notes are valid only for a year in any branch.
At the end of the journey, the credit notes are reconciled into a single account balance. The bank generally charges 5% of the total deposit as a handling fee.
