What Is a Bank?
A bank is basically a safe place where people put their money so it's not hiding in a sock drawer or under a mattress. You can store it there, take it out when you need it, or even have the bank send some to someone else. Banks don't just sit on your money, though - they lend it to other people or businesses who need it, and they charge them interest (kind of like a rental fee for using the money).
In return for you trusting them with your cash, the bank might pay you a little extra called interest - sort of a "thank you" for letting them use it. They also keep records, offer advice, and make it easier to pay bills, buy things, and save for big goals. In short: a bank is like a money hub, part safe, part service desk, and part lending library - but instead of books, it lends out money.
