General

PCBC is the largest bank in Perplex City.
The advertising campaign in the Perplex City Sentinel claims it is the world's smartest bank.

Has many branches throughout the City.
Main office is based at the PCBC Tower on Ascendancy Way, overlooking Auger Park.
Main branch is on Caldera Street to serve the burgeoning East Old Town.

Jonathan Smart stepped down from his position as CEO in the Fall of 2005.
- He remains on the Board of directors indefinitely
- Walter Cove-Houghton took over for Smart as CEO.
- There is some skepticism, however, as to Cove-Houghton's abilities.

In late August, PCBC announced a buyout of Fivebridge and Remton Consolidated Bank
- This matter did leave some loose ends, which were brushed aside by eager PCBC executives.
- Apparently the research data submitted to the Perplex City Council did not encompass a wide enough spectrum of data.
- In susequent weeks, the Council has considered denying the buyout at all, stating the bank's disarray after the tragic murder of a single consulting economist proves that the bank's research was shoddy and incomplete.
