Marston wearing the bandana while robbing a bank in Red Dead Redemption

Banks are a central institution in virtually all communities of the American west at the time of the Red Dead series. Banks were used to safe-keep the wealth of the settlement they were located in. Because of this, large amounts of gold and cash were stored in the banks of the west - making them a prized goal of many outlaw groups.

If they choose the honorable side, Marston will be asked to retrieve a stolen bank safe, which then has to be brought back to bank. If the player chooses the dishonorable side, Marston will be able to rob banks. Either way, the reward for completing the job will be cash. The banks of Armadillo and MacFarlane's Ranch are the only banks that can be robbed without fail. Armadillo has two crackable safes and a pair of chests. The other two banks, one in Chuparosa, Nuevo Paraiso and the other in Blackwater, West Elizabeth, cannot be robbed because the doors to the vault are impassible.
