In an unprecedented show of cooperation, several major Thas Banking Houses put aside their differences and have announced a new program- The South Thas Banking Group, Int'l. In an attempt to ease competition and more effectively draw foreign investors, the STBG will focus on spreading the reach of Thas Banking to new and distant shores. This marks the most coordinated attempt to date by Thas business to target a market outside it's home region, where the reliability of banks is already established. This breakout move seems to have been coordinated with a new, much-anticipated banking reform bill passing through the legislature. This bill, expected to pass, would grant even more independence to the banking sector concerning investor privacy, which has long been a major advantage to the Thas banking system. Private investors are practically guaranteed complete discretion in their actions, a move expected to only increase business for Thas Banks.
The membership of the STBG draws from the most noted and respected banks in South Thasland.
The House Illi- One of the most influential banking houses in South Thasland, the House Illi has announced that, within the confines of the STBG, it will be serving as a straightforward, loan-oriented bank. Illi expects to focus on other national and multinational companies (or wealthy individuals) interested in loans and investments. House Illi has a reputation as a cautious banking house- generally only expanding into markets established by other Thas banks.
