About
The bank's logo
Based in Frankfurt, Germany (Frankfurt also considered Germany's banking center in the Muggle world) the bank has branches across Northern Europe, through Scandinavia. It employs both goblin and human employees.
The bank manages and keeps its customer's wills as required, and executes them on death. It has contacts and ties with many other businesses including furniture removals and property sales.
In alchemy, the term chrysopoeia means transmutation into gold (from the Greek khrusōn, gold, and poiēin, to make), although it is also symbolically used to indicate the philosopher's stone as the completion of the Great Work.
The bank's logo is a snake eating its own tail.

- Wolfgang Storm was a senior account manager, in charge of the Durmstrang account. Managing the investments of the school took up to 80% of Wolfgang's attention at the bank. He was later dismissed following some bother with Hannah Bombay.
- Camille Storm worked in personal banking for the latter part of her time at the bank, using her arithmancy skills to divine whether loans could be issued amongst other services. She was dismissed when her husband was.
