This district is home to one of the city's most famous landmarks, the [[Big Pointy Building]], which is a re-creation of the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco's financial district.  This building's player-accesible roof provides panoramic views of the entire city, and an opportunity to test one's skydiving skills with the provided parachute.  Financial is also home to food and clothing retailers, and is serviced by the city's cable car system.  The police patrol this busy district heavily, and street and sidewalk traffic is commonplace.

==Events of [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]==
When [[Carl Johnson]] arrives in [[San Fierro]], he realizes his work in this new city has only just begun.  The derelict [[Doherty Garage|garage]] he won in the street race with [[Claude]] and [[Catalina]] is in desperate need of renovation, and the leaders of the [[Loco Syndicate]], the entity largely responsible for the events leading up to this point, are located nearby.  With the help of his sister [[Kendl]], his old ally from [[Los Santos]], [[Cesar Vialpando]], and his newly acquired friends [[The Truth]], [[Dwaine]], [[Jethro]], and [[Zero]], Carl sets off to turn the garage into a successful chop-shop and destroy the Loco Syndicate once and for all.
However, [[C.R.A.S.H.]] officers [[Frank Tenpenny]] and [[Eddie Pulaski]], who have been watching Carl's activities very closely, arrive in [[Doherty]] to heap more tasks on Carl's already full plate.  They demand that Carl frame San Fierro's District Attorney, who apparently has some compromising information on Pulaski.  To do this, Carl must make his way over to the [[Vank Hoff Hotel]] in Financial, where he poses as a valet in order to steal the DA's car and return it to the Doherty garage where a few tons of marijuana are planted in the trunk.  Carl then returns the DA's car to the hotel in time to phone the police tip hotline, after which the DA is promptly arrested.
