The Vault of Ironforge
Overview
A bank is a building with several teller NPCs that allow a character to access a private storage area that is accessible from any bank branch. Branches appear in major cities and some towns, and allow a character to store items not currently in use.
All of the banks share the same vault; the neutral banks are equivalent to the faction banks. If you place items in one bank, you will be able to access them in another. (Officially, this is accomplished through the use of Automated Teleportation Modules; ATM's for short.) However, players are not able to use the banks of opposing factions, because they cannot talk to the tellers.
Initially a character's bank account (vault storage space) contains 28 item storage slots at no cost. An additional seven bag slots for more space are purchasable. These provide no additional item storage slots, but allow placement of a bag that has item storage capacity. The bags can be changed out and it is common practice to progressively place larger bags. The cost of the bag slots increases with each extra slot purchased starting at 10
, (then increasing to 1
, 10, 25, 25, 25, 25, for a total of 111 10 for all slots (not including the bags that go into them).
Unlike a real bank, you cannot store currency within the bank, only items.
Bank Alts
A bank alt is a character that is usually level 1 and sits in a trade city. This character's primary use is for:
- Extra Bank Space
- Have a Character right next to the Auction House to Auction all your stuff if you're far away from one.
- Manage numerous amounts of resources
Where can I find bank branches?

Faction bank branches
All of the capital Alliance and Horde cities have bank branches:
Horde bank branches
Alliance bank branches
Neutral bank branches
Some neutral cities have them as well:
- Ratchet
- Gadgetzan
- Booty Bay
- Everlook
- Area 52
- Shattrath City (Aldor/Scryer)
- Dalaran (northern/southern and sewer)
Portable Banks
Players can bring them these portable banks with them as items or abilities to access the bank anywhere in the game. This is very useful as it saves a lot of time to not have to return to a stationary bank every time you have to retrieve or store something. Known portable banks:
[Jeeves] (Bank only accessible by engineers)
[Argent Squire] (when upgraded with a 
[Argent Pony Bridle])
Notice that both these items got long cooldowns, meaning they cannot be used by the players possessing them at all times. Portable banks reduce a player's need to see stationary bank, but does not completely remove it.
