In olden times, a bank was often referred to as a "moneylender" or "moneychangers." These early institutions were responsible for exchanging currencies and lending money, primarily to merchants and traders. The term "bank" itself is derived from the Italian word "banca," which means "bench," reflecting the practice of moneylenders conducting business on benches in marketplaces.
