Bank (de_bank) is an Arsenal map featured in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
Overview
Bank is a demolition (arsenal) map taking place just outside the downtown district of an unspecified US city.
There are 2 factions making an appearance on this map. The Terrorists consist of the Professionals while for the Counter-Terrorists, the SWAT team appears.
Both teams are spawned opposite to each other. The Terrorist team is spawned behind the bank, while Counter-Terrorists are spawned in front of it and must get across the street to get in. This map is close and medium range combat oriented, and most of the action takes place right in the bank or on the roof.

Unused Content
- All PAYDAY 2 masks were removed after the May 23, 2017 update, but can be found in the game files.
Trivia
- As with most Demolition maps, this map is loosely based on a map from the Left 4 Dead series. In this case the map is based off of the Burger Tank restaurant in the first map and finale (Milltown and Town Escape) of the Hard Rain campaign in Left 4 Dead 2. Arguably, this is the most heavily altered map of Arsenal: Demolition.
- It could be likely that this map is a homage to the Deleted Scenes mission Miami Heat as both maps feature the SWAT team.
- Bank has been made into a heist in PAYDAY 2 in a collaboration between Valve and the developers of PAYDAY 2, as the GO Bank heist, also known as Charlie Santa/Sierra, with almost identical layouts and minor prop differences.
- The name GO Bank alludes to the abbreviation of Global Offensive, while the name Charlie Santa/Sierra alludes to the abbreviation of Counter-Strike in NATO phonetic alphabets, with Santa being used to fit with the Christmas theme the map is designed with.
- The Charlie Santa mission board in PAYDAY 2 suggests the bank is located in Washington DC[1].
- Also, as part of the December 18, 2013 update, masks of characters from PAYDAY 2 can be found in the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive version of the map [2]
- Dallas: Behind the boxes in the far corner of the abandoned shop's back room.
- Wolf: Inside the rear trashcan located in the T Spawn.
- Hoxton (now called Houston): Under the counter in the abandoned shop adjacent to the bank.
- This map uses some props that could have been used in a remake of Vostok for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. The most noticeable prop is in the shop where a table includes a Romanian flag which might be the setting for Vostok.
