Bankr · Coming Soon on Steam

Run a bank. Survive the cycle. Build an empire.

A deep banking strategy simulation. Originate loans, gather deposits, manage capital, navigate crises, and grow from a community lender into a global financial institution — all on top of a real IFRS 9 credit model and a tick-by-tick balance sheet.

Features

A bank, simulated honestly.

Every metric on screen — CAR, NPL, LCR, NSFR, NIM, ROE — comes from a real-time simulation of your balance sheet, not flavor text.

Originate & manage credit

Seven loan types — mortgages, auto, SME, corporate, commercial real estate, credit cards, personal — each with their own behavior. Stages update day by day per IFRS 9: Performing → Watchlist → Delinquent → Default → Write-off.

Gather deposits, fund growth

Eight deposit categories from checking to brokered CDs. Set rates, watch your loan-to-deposit ratio, and balance funding cost against liquidity coverage.

Compete with rivals

Other banks operate alongside you — they grow, lose share, get acquired, or fail. The market reacts to who wins and who slips.

Mergers & acquisitions

Run due diligence, structure offers, and choose between four defensive responses when you're the target. Survive a hostile bid or take one over.

Six divisions to unlock

Corporate, Mortgage, Private Banking, Investment Banking, Private Equity, Wealth Management, Insurance — each with its own allocation rules and revenue profile.

Products & cards

Launch credit card programs and investment funds with allocation strategies. Grow an asset-management arm or specialize in lending.

Career mode (Intern)

Don't want to run the whole bank yet? Pick a path — Credit Analyst, Treasurer, Banker, Trader — work up the ranks, hit a capstone evaluation.

Personality system

A 5-question quiz at the start sets four personality axes and seeds seven gameplay multipliers. Two players starting the same scenario won't have the same run.

Scenarios & crises

Growth Sprint, Stable Years, Regulatory Crunch, Global Shock, High Stakes — pick your difficulty by choosing the macro environment.

The regulator is watching

Capital Adequacy, Non-Performing Loans, Liquidity Coverage — fall behind on any of them and warnings arrive. Ignore them long enough and you'll get seized.

Under the hood

Built on a real simulation engine.

Bankr isn't a thin re-skin of a generic tycoon. It's a Rust-based simulation core driving a native React UI, with a tick loop that advances one in-game day every two seconds.

10 Hz tick loop

Loans accrue interest, deposits accrue expense, and ratios update in real time — not in batch at end of month.

40+ commands

Forty commands across credit, treasury, capital, M&A, products, and divisions. Every action is reversible, save-stateable, and auditable.

Quarterly reports

At quarter-close, the engine generates a full P&L, balance sheet, and ratio snapshot — the same kind a real bank files.
