The symbol of St. Matthew generally represents an angel or winged man, symbolizing Matthew's Gospel focus on Christ's humanity. It may also reference his profession as a tax collector before becoming a disciple.
St. Matthew was a tax collector before Jesus called him to be his desciple. Tax collectors worked with money, and so do bankers. St. Matthew is then invoked as the protector of those who handle money.
There is no patron saint of money. St. Matthew is the patron siant of money managers or accountants.
