[[File:Banco deGuatemala.JPG|thumb|right|The National Bank Building in Orlavo]]
The Vinalian banking sector is regulated by the [[Vinalia|Central Bank of Vinalia]] which is governed by a board of governors appointed by the [[Minister-President of Vinalia|Minister-President]], and the [[Cabinet of Vinalia|Treasury]]. Currently the head of the board is Pylyp Krika. Vinalia has enjoyed a general growth in its financial sector since reunification, along with the rest of the economy, at the time of reunification close to 28 banks operated in [[South Vinalia]], while only 3 banks existed in [[North Vinalia]] all government owned. Vinalia sought to establish {{wp|Commercial bank}}s, and numerous private banks were opened in the country, while the government combined most government owned banks into a single {{wp|central bank}}, and gave favorable support to national banks. Soravian financial firms became heavily involved in the country, establishing local subsidiaries. Community run, agricultural banks provided cheap accessible loans primarily to small farmers, to develop crops, government injection of capital into these banks has allowed numerous to become profit driven ventures, while many provide accessible credit to farmers, and small business owners. Today close to 300 banks exist in the country many of them foreign.

The [[Imagua and the Assimas|Imaguan]] based [[Bank of the Orient]], was involved in a major corruption scandal in 2020, leading to Vinalian police raiding banks across the country.
