Brier International
Brier International is a banking, brokerage, and financial management institution which operates out of headquarters in Leighlinbridge, Faneria. It is the largest bank based in northern Levantia and the sixth largest bank in the world by number of customers as of its acquisition of Metekis Banking and Loans in 2026.
Brier International, formerly Brier Financial, has acquired a number of financial firms and smaller banks, going so far as to be accused of primarily expanding into new markets through targeted headhunting and legal predation. This is only partly true, as the company is careful to stay within local law. In practice, Brier International purchases and rennovates failing financial firms and banks, seeing periodic surges during economic slumps.
The company has flourished as an international exchange, specializing in minimal- or no-cost currency conversion, international purchases and asset movement, stock trading in local markets notmally closed to foreign nationals, and low-interest loans to corporations and governments alike. This specialty has both required it to keep crack legal teams on retainer to bat away lawsuits over customers' assets as well as embedding it deeply in both Fhainnin and League of Nations politics.
