How Banking Works
Players visit bank locations or ATMs to open accounts and receive their physical debit card item. Using the card, they access the banking interface to deposit cash, withdraw funds, or transfer money to other players. Cards can be lost, stolen, or traded—meaning criminals who rob players can obtain their debit cards and access their accounts (subject to PIN/security settings you configure). Business owners open commercial accounts with higher limits for managing employee payroll and business expenses. Transaction logs create audit trails for investigating fraud, embezzlement, or money laundering in roleplay scenarios.

What Makes It Stand Out
While most FiveM banking scripts are basic ATM interfaces, Real Looking Banking recreates the complexity and functionality of actual financial systems. The physical card mechanic creates tangible value—losing your debit card in a robbery means the criminal can access your money, forcing players to manage security like they would in real life. Multiple account types enable sophisticated economic roleplay: business owners separating personal and company finances, savings accounts for long-term goals, checking accounts for daily transactions. The transaction history isn't just eye candy—it's functional evidence for police investigating financial crimes, accountants auditing businesses, or players tracking their spending habits. The UI design elevates immersion with a professional banking app aesthetic that fits modern RP settings.

- Savings Accounts - Higher security, potential interest earnings (if configured), limited withdrawals to encourage saving
- Business Accounts - Higher balance limits, multiple authorized users, employee payroll integration, transaction logs for auditing
- Joint Accounts - Optional shared accounts for couples, business partners, or gang leadership
Criminal Gameplay Features
The card theft system creates unique criminal roleplay opportunities. Muggers who rob someone can steal their wallet, including their debit card. With the physical card, they can attempt ATM withdrawals (subject to daily limits you set). Players can configure PIN security, forcing criminals to coerce victims into revealing codes. Police can investigate fraudulent transactions, tracking stolen card usage to catch suspects. Banks can freeze compromised accounts after theft reports. Money laundering becomes possible through complex transfer chains between accounts.
