Aerie Bank

Added the Chaos incident at the bank reported in the in-fiction city feed
Aerie Bank is a bank in Nova City. Its corporate page is the most unusual of the six in-world sites ANANTA has published, because it is written on two levels at once: a straight-faced banking prospectus, and a running commentary that gives away what the bank actually does. The page's own recurring teaser is the question "Want to know Aerie Bank's secrets?"
On its face the bank serves high-net-worth clients, industrial groups and institutional capital, offering private banking, corporate credit, cross-border settlement, investment and financing support, and asset management. Its banner reads "Standing with Nova City, letting every measure of trust", and its stated approach is prudent, steadfast and transparent. The chairman is quoted saying "We don't just protect assets. We safeguard generations of trust."
The same page then states, without softening it, that the bank is "Guided by the principles of monopolistic nepotism, greed over all else, foolish short-sightedness, and reckless disregard for consequences" and maintains long-term "collaborations" with vested-interest corporations. Its personal-service description ends with the line that these services include "asset concealment and offshore account transfers for core members of Leonas Enterprises". Its corporate-service description says that through the bank, Leonas Enterprises "has propelled countless companies to the top, and in doing so has seized control of Nova City's industrial lifeline".
The chairman's quote is immediately followed by a second one, "We also protect the Nova syndicate's money bag!", and the environmental and social section signs off by noting how the bank protects employees who are mired in debt and still somehow slip past the law. This is the clearest published statement that Nova City's financial establishment and its organised crime are the same institution.
The bank is the site of one of the earliest Chaos incidents recorded in the game's in-fiction city feed. A verified public-safety account posted a breaking notice reading "Chaos by Aerie Bank", said an Aegis Nexus Task Force was on the scene, and told anyone nearby to clear out. The post is tagged as a Nova incident and specifically as an Aerie Bank Chaos event.
It is a short notice with no follow-up, so nothing is known about what happened, whether the bank was a target or a bystander, or whether the incident connects to the bank's own account of who it works for. It does establish that the NCCA's Aegis Nexus unit responds at this address.
The bank's chairman is Lily Leonas, described as heir to the Leonas family business, who took the helm at a young age and led the bank's transformation from a traditional family business into a modern financial institution. The page credits her with financial talent, composure, and a focus on wealth management, family asset succession and risk control. Her title on the governance page is tagged [PUPPET], which the site does not explain and does not walk back.
A customer-service hotline, 13-402-145, is published in the footer.
The page's closing refrain is "When you need us, the entrances will appear."
Its stated partnership with Leonas Group covers real estate, pharmaceuticals, and the settlement of overseas projects.
The bank had already been named in passing on the Nova City page before this site was published; the site is the first material to describe it.
Who Lily Leonas is a puppet for, and whether the tag is a joke, a spoiler, or an in-world leak.
What the "Nova syndicate" is, and whether it is the same as the city's named gangs such as ParaBoar.
Whether the bank is a location, a mission-giver, or a story antagonist.
Any connection to Reign Group, the other conglomerate the game says has a past it declines to explain.
Everything above comes from the company's own page on the game's website. None of it has been shown in gameplay footage, and no character has been tied to Aerie Bank in any trailer, hands-on demo or closed beta build. Treat the copy as in-world marketing rather than as verified detail about how the organization functions in play.
