Bank Notes
Written By Salmoneus
Perhaps you're wondering about what a 'Bank Note' is, or you'd just like to know how it's possible to trade large amounts of items in a single trade screen. Even though they are relatively simple to understand, some players aren't sure of what they are, so this guide will hopefully explain them better.
Quite simply, Bank Notes are just little pieces of paper telling you and everyone else (including the Bankers!) how many of a certain item you have. They're much like Certificates (a.k.a. 'Certs') in RuneScape Classic, but much more quick and simple to use. Obtaining a Bank Note Well, you don't exactly 'obtain' a Bank Note as you would a regular item. Instead, the Bankers will exchange them for your items. When you access your bank account, you'll see 2 buttons near the bottom-right corner: 
What's the Point? Right now you may be asking "So what's the purpose of Bank Notes?" Instead of carting around a full backpack of Rune Ores (or any other item for that matter) to trade, you can put your items into Bank Notes and trade as many as you wish. Bank Notes of a single item only use up 1 space, so you'll have the rest of the space to carry other items.
There were 3 characters in Draynor Village that exchange items for Certificates: Niles, Miles and Giles. Niles would exchanged cooked and raw Lobsters and Swordfish for Certificates. Miles exchanged Iron, Coal, Silver, Gold and Mithril Bars, while Giles exchanged ores of the same type for Certificates. You could only exchange certain numbers of items for Certificates at once. There was the option of exchanging items of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 for Certificates, and each cert was equal to 5 items-- imagine 'certing' 2,500 items! Certificates are only available in RuneScape Classic, as they have been replaced in RuneScape with Bank Notes for their ease of use. |

To
the left is a picture of 10 Rune Ore Bank Notes. Ores are not usually stackable
but Bank Notes allow them to be. Each Bank Note is equivalent to 1 item, so the
10 Bank Notes show that there are 10 ores waiting to be turned back into regular
items. By depositing the notes into your bank, they will become regular items
again.
Instead,
you may have just been wondering about Certificates and how you can get them.
In RuneScape Classic, you could only trade certain items such as ores, bars and
fish for Certificates.
