The Galactic Banking Network, also known as the Imperial Banking Commission, was established by Emperor Palpatine shortly after the Declaration of a New Order as a successor to the Galactic Republic's clearinghouse. It was an attempt to streamline the Republic's grid-locked economic institution. The Galactic Banking Network was a lending institution, and many individual spacers mortgaged their freighters through the organization.
