The '''banking''' app is a very easy and fast way to transfer money to other players/friends in need of cash. With this new '''banking''' system, you won't need to go all the way to a market to take some cash out for a friend, also if that player/friend isn't in close proximity to you during the transfer, unlike giving cash to players, it wouldn't matter. Whoever your transferring money to can be as far as Pluto, so long as you have the money needed to make the transfer. '''(Transfers can only be made by transferring $1000 minimum.)''' The only flaw to transferring via our in game '''banking''' app is the fact a small fee will be taken out upon transfer; it's nothing big, but it's the only flaw to transferring via the app in comparison to giving cash.
 
=== How to transfer money in the "Banking" app ===
Assuming you have a smart phone at this point, you simply want to hotkey it, then open the '''banking''' app, from here you want to select the player your transferring the money to, then you'd want to input the amount '''($1000 minimum transfers)''', then simply press the button it says to transfer. The player that received the money will get a pop up notification in the top right of their screen, you'll also get a pop up notification stating how much you sent and the fee taken out and handed to the '''bank'''.

=== Review on the "Banking" app's features: ===
* Easy to send to other players/friends
* The amount of meters required to send is infinite
* Minimum of $1000 transfers
* Small fee taken out when transferring to players
* Only accessible through the in game smartphone
* This is the new and improved way of sending other players money
