It's a source of frustration for me when playing as a merchant republic. I ought to be allowed to build just 1 Fortified Bank at any location under my control... not just at my capital.

This is not about you, it is about the bank ;-)

Thought it specifically was the capital of the merchant republic, since the fortifications help protect against raiders and sieges. If they siege the town the banks in they get the option to loot the vaults of the bank too for a couple penalties and fat stacks of cash. The fortified bank building is the bank itself funding extra defenses to protect against that. Believe it or not, the bank cares about it's bottom line and the good of all it's shareholders not just the founder/player  |

I would reply that it was my money that began the bank, that built the fortified bank. I ought to be able to place it wherever I wish.

You invest the money in the bank with the purpose of letting the bank work for you and make more money out of it. How the bank is doing it is out of your control, you can only be a part of it by becoming an employee of the bank, like an envoy or high councelor
So what you get from the bank is a dividend, no more no less.
With the time running by other people will also invest in the bank, which is an independent institution. The bank may decide to save its assets by building fortifications, but the only purpose of that is to reach the common goal of all investors: A higher dividend.
If you want to improve your holdings, just spend your money in better buildings instead of giving it to the bank in hope of future returns.
