The Bank was a central institution in virtually all communities of the American west at the time of Red Dead Revolver and Red Dead Redemption. Banks were used to safe-keep the wealth of the settlement they were located in. Because of this, large amounts of gold and cash stored were stored in the banks of the west - making it a prize goal of many outlaw groups.

It has been confirmed that the player may be offered random

ly-generated side missions involving banks. If he chooses 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 this event will be cash. The Bank of Armadillo is the only known bank that can be robbed. It has two safes which can be cracked and two chests. The other two banks, one in Mexico and the other in Blackwater, cannot be robbed because you can't get past the doors to the vault. The Blackwater Bank has one safe that you can crack though.
