Argic Aurelian Banking Group, or AABG, is a Manamana based banking conglomerate. It has supported development in the region and has been criticised for its low tax returns. The Company was founded in June 1898, as James Ronald Jenkins, brother to Ronald Jenkins the PyeMcGowian Monopoly man, was on holiday in a villa in Aurelia. He suddenly realised the potential for foreign colonies to make vast fortunes in the continent, and funded mining and resource gathering expeditions. He became increasingly wealthy as gold and silver was being discovered on land he bought. Furthermore, he practised what many call ‘Diggering’, as he spent a lot of money digging up all of his land, then refilling it and selling it as ‘untapped resourceful land’, which made him even richer. The colonial government quickly became aware of this and shut down his excavation business, South Aurelian Mining and Letting Co.
He spent a year in what many have called a five star luxury prison, before using his power to convince the colonial courts to set him free. He realised that people had found what he was doing, so he needed a new business. He got a loan from his brother and finally set up the AABG. The company was considered risk-free thanks to his charismatic attitude, and ‘numbers’ so investors backed it. The company was an instant success. By 1900 they had set up offices in every colony in Aurelia, with its Headquarters in New Leverne, The Twinsud Coast. The company, quickly expanded into Argis, but with fierce competition they turned their Argic buildings into investment centres, where wealthy people could deposit money, and receive high intrest. Unfortunately, as Mines hit bedrock bottoms and forest laid empty, people began to see flaws in the Aurelian opportunity. Thankfully, with a new head, Arthur Henry Jenkins II, they restructured becoming a regular bank and selling most of their large Argic offices to other companies. In 1958, UBS bought the company, and it’s many holdings, making it one of the largest acquisitions in Aurelia. The company later moved to Manamana, where they have remained to this day. The bank still uses it’s many connections to encourage investment into Aurelia, especially as the Manamana Canal is opening up many opportunities in the southern continent.
