In the old days, banks were often referred to as "moneylenders" or "goldsmiths." These institutions primarily dealt with the storage and lending of money and valuables. The term "bank" itself derives from the Italian word "banca," meaning a bench, where moneylenders conducted their business. Over time, these early financial institutions evolved into the modern banks we know today.
