The term 'Bank' was derived from the Italian word 'Banco'.
- 'Banco' means 'bench' in Italian.
- In a region in Italy called Lombardy, Jews exchanged the benches in the marketplace for money and bills.
- The benches were broken when a banker failed.
- The term bankrupt evolved from this situation.
- There is also a different version which says 'bank' is from the Italian word 'Banca' which means moneylender's table.
- In the earlier days bank was defined as the counter or shop of a money-lender.
- Presently it is defined as a financial institution.
