'''Trouble Banking and Welfare (TBW) Investments''' is an investment and trading [[corporation]] based in Andceeth. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
In the early days of the [[Federation]], Diamond starport in Andceeth was a major centre for commercial transactions between planetary governments. Before the days of the [[Mission Board|Universal Bulletin Board]] and [[Credits|guaranteed transfer]], the worlds of Andceeth were the banking centre for the Federation.<ref name=":0229">Tourist Beacon 0229</ref><br />
<br />
Since the middle of the 31st century, when the system lost its significance, a group of banking entrepreneurs got together with the custodians of the vaults of Andceeth 2, also known as Trouble and began developing an investment company, using the facilities and security abandoned by the Federation.<ref name=":0229" /><br />
<br />
In 3300, TBW Investments provides loans and saving opportunities for individuals and businesses. It specialises in clients that prefer their assets to remain "off the grid". The rates of return are good and the vaults remain secure. They also specialise in the storage of high value items, in private, individual strongboxes, stored in deep underground vaults. Many suspect much of these contents are illegal, and simply 'cooling off' - though of course the bank would strongly contest that.<ref name=":0230">Tourist Beacon 0230</ref><br />
<br />
TBW also trade in precious stones, both on behalf of clients, and running private markets around human space, but particularly within the [[Federation]]. They are well known as the best gemstone traders in human space.<ref name=":0230" /><br />
<br />
TBW maintain their own security fleet. These are mostly fast, and well-equipped, using [[Fer-de-Lance]] craft mostly as comfortable executive transports, carrying small cargoes very securely with perhaps one or two clients only.<ref name=":0230" /><br />
