The Bank of Liberty branch in Chinatown is the largest Bank of Liberty branch in Grand Theft Auto IV, Episodes from Liberty City and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. It is located in Chinatown, Algonquin, Liberty City.

Description[]

The bank is located on the northeast corner of Columbus Avenue and Calcium Street. It is notable for its robbery perpetrated by the Irish mob in Grand Theft Auto IV. The bank is only accessible during the mission, in which the entrance doors are wide open. The doors lead to an antechamber containing six ATM machines. The antechamber leads to a sumptuous main lobby, with one standalone ATM, where the vault door is found. Beyond the vault door is a stairway clad in marble that descends into preliminary storage rooms enclosed by reinforced steel gates. These lead to a vault room that contains safe deposit boxes (SDBs), a pair of safes, and a shelf that contains bank records.

Influence[]

The bank is a rendition of the HSBC branch located at 150 Canal Street, Manhattan, New York.

Events of Grand Theft Auto IV[]

The bank is robbed by Niko Bellic and the McReary brothers in Three Leaf Clover. During the robbery, Michael Keane is shot dead by Eugene Reaper, a customer, in turn shot dead by the crew. Derrick McReary proceeds to destroy the vault door with C4, and Niko Bellic penetrates a vault engulfed in flames to retrieve the money. He comes back to the lobby carrying two duffel bags containing the cash, and the crew make their way to the front entrance to discover a swarm of police officers and NOOSE agents in front of the building. A bloody shootout ensues.
