* In ''VideoGame/NewHorizons'', players can visit these fittingly called "loan sharks" to deposit their money for generous interests per month. It can be withdrawn any time by visiting. Savvy captains will have multiple accounts in different towns for hard times. Of course, they can take loans as well when needed. They just have to remember to return them in time, if they don't want to face collections.

* ''VideoGame/EarthBound'': [=ATMs=] let you store your money in a bank account, where it is safe in the case of a game over. Half your pocket money is lost at a game over. It's also how the game plays with the use of {{Money Spider}}s: when defeating enemies, instead of cash immediately going to your party's inventory, Ness's dad deposits money to your account.

added example from The Bards Tale Trilogy

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/TheBardsTaleTrilogy'': In the second game a half-elf named Beddar runs a bank. The stingy SOB doesn't pay interest on your deposits, but he ''does'' keep your money safe so you don't lose it all if you get [[TotalPartyKill TPK'ed]]. Which is something that can happen ''a lot''.

* Up until around the Word of Blake Jihad, ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'' had [[NGOSuperpower ComStar]] offering account handling, money exchange, notarization, identity verification, and other banking services alongside their communications services. The ubiquity of their [[SubspaceAnsible HPG stations]], reputation for neutrality, and commonplace acceptance of their self-issued [[GlobalCurrency C-Bills]] (good for one second of transmission time each) meant that most people were content to allow [[FanNickname Space AT&T]] to handle their banking...up until [[NothingIsTheSameAnymore everything came crashing down around them]], that is.

* ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreed'': In ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedSyndicate'', all proceeds from the Rooks' criminal activities are deposited into a safe on the [[BrotherSisterTeam Jacob and Evie]] Fry's train. The funds increase roughly once an hour and the player is notified once it has reached capacity, at which point no additional funds will generate until a withdrawal is made.
