Money Storage

Cash on hand is vulnerable so keep as little on you as you can. Don't lose your hard earned cash to muggings!

The Golden Rule

Never hold significant cash on hand. Store it immediately.

Players can mug you for a percentage of your cash on hand. The only safe cash is cash that's stored.

Here are options that can never be stolen as long as the money is stored:

Investment Bank

Deposit cash and earn interest. Interest rates vary by deposit term — longer terms give better rates. You can also increase the amount of interest you earn by using merits and buying the Torn City Investment stock for the perk.

  • You cannot withdraw at any time — you have to wait until your investment ends.
  • You must complete shorter lengths of time to unlock the next level. Total levels are one week, two weeks, one month, two months, and three months.

When your investment ends, re-deposit with all the money you can afford for the next highest time level.

Personal Vaults

The Palace, Castle, and Private Islands offer a vault that can be unlocked with upgrades. You can deposit and withdraw from here anytime.

Small Vault
Cost: $20mHolds: $100m
Medium Vault
Cost: $42mHolds: $300m
Large Vault
Cost: $98mHolds: $500m
Extra Large Vault
Cost: $215mHolds: $1b

You can hold multiple properties and use the vault in all of them if needed.

Stock Market

The stock market can be unlocked by spending 50 points. You can buy stocks with money to gain perks for holding a certain amount. Each stock will list what perk you get for holding X shares for X days.

WSU stock perk example

You can use the stock market as a vault by buying a stock and leaving money there. When you need it, just sell the stock.

Stocks go up and down in value so there is a potential you lose money when selling to access your cash.
