The family bank is your crew's shared war chest and the place where members pay their required donation. It is the financial heart of every strong family in BELLOCCO: without a well-filled vault there are no walls, no upgrades and no wars you can win. Anyone competing seriously for the top learns to read the bank like a ledger and uses it as the engine behind the growth of the whole family. On top of that, donations count toward your achievements and challenges, so depositing pays off twice.
Who sees what?
Not everyone has the same view of the vault. That is deliberate: giving too many people access to the money is asking for trouble. Permissions are therefore split by role:
- Boss & underboss see the full Family Bank with all tabs: the balance, deposit & withdraw, the donation overview and the ledger.
- Regular members see the Family Donations page: just a donation field and their own donation requirement. The vault balance and the ledger stay hidden from them.
The tabs for the leadership
The leadership manages the vault through a few clear tabs, each with its own function:
- Deposit & withdraw: put money into the vault or, as boss or underboss, take it out. At the top you see the balance and the hourly income from territory and tax.
- Member donations: an overview per member: how much someone has donated this period, how much is required and how much is still outstanding, with a clear status (✓ Paid or Open).
- Ledger: every transaction in a row: deposits, withdrawals, war loot, walls, income from businesses and more.
Required donation
The boss can, under Manage Family → Settings, set a required donation: an amount every member has to donate to the vault per day or per week. On the Family Donations page each member sees exactly how much they still need to deposit to meet their requirement, complete with a progress bar and a check icon once the goal is reached. This keeps a steady stream of income flowing into the family and makes sure everyone contributes fairly: nobody can endlessly ride along on the efforts of the rest.
What the vault is for
The family bank finances the growth of your organization. From the vault you pay for businesses and walls, defense, energy and upgrades. Money also flows in: loot from won wars and from the big Route 66 heist goes straight into the bank. Trust and a good division of roles are therefore essential: one unreliable member with withdrawal rights can drain an entire war chest. Want to build your own crew around a strong vault?

Frequently asked questions
Who can withdraw money from the family bank?
Only the boss and the underboss can withdraw. Regular members can deposit and donate, but cannot see the balance or the ledger.
What is a required donation?
It is an amount set by the boss that every member has to donate to the vault per day or per week. On the donation page a progress bar shows how much you still need to deposit.
Do donations count toward achievements?
Yes. Donations to the family bank count toward your achievements and challenges, so depositing earns you personal rewards as well as a stronger family.
What is the money in the vault used for?
For the growth of the family: businesses, walls, energy, upgrades and funding wars and defense.
How does loot get into the bank?
Loot from won wars and from the Route 66 heist flows straight into the vault, as do the income from family businesses and the family tax.
What is in the ledger?
The ledger shows every transaction: deposits, withdrawals, war loot, costs for walls and businesses and more. That way the leadership keeps full sight of the money flow.
