Banque Nationale d'Oportie (BNO) is the largest commercial bank in Oportia, with a history dating back to the early 18th century. The bank was founded in 1714 by the Vassiliyov family, a prominent Oportian banking dynasty of Zeedic origin. Throughout its history, BNO has played a significant role in the development of Oportia's economy and financial sector.
History
BNO was established in 1714 AN by Mikhail Vassiliyov, a wealthy merchant and financier that escaped Zeed and was living in Oportia, who sought to create a modern banking institution to support Oportia's growing economy. The bank initially focused on providing loans and financial services to local businesses and entrepreneurs, quickly gaining a reputation for reliability and innovation. Under the leadership of Mikhail Vassiliyov, BNO expanded its operations throughout Oportia, opening branches in major cities such as Vanie, Port de Huile, and Pahlavye. The bank also played a crucial role in financing Oportia's industrialization and infrastructure development as the country formed and grew. In recent years, BNO has continued to grow and adapt to the changing financial landscape. The bank has embraced digital technologies, introducing online banking services and mobile payment solutions to meet the needs of its customers.

BNO remains under the control of the Vassiliyov family, with Leopold Vassiliyov serving as the current Chairman and CEO. Leopold has been credited with modernizing the bank's operations and expanding its international presence.
