'''''Gringotts''''' is the only known bank of the wizarding world and it is operated primarily by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Goblin|goblins]]. Wizards and witches keep their money and other valuables in vaults that are protected by very complex and strong security measures.

In [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 26|''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'']], Harry, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione]], aided by a reluctant Griphook in exchange for [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Godric Gryffindor|Godric Gryffindor]]'s sword, break into the vault of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Bellatrix Lestrange|Bellatrix Lestrange]] where a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Horcrux|Horcrux]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Helga Hufflepuff|Hufflepuff]]'s cup, is hidden. However, when they go into Bellatrix's vault, which is stocked with all manners of treasure, they find out that the treasure has Gemino and Flagrante charms placed on it. Though burned and nearly buried in false treasures, the Trio manage to escape with the Horcrux by fleeing on a half-blind dragon that was part of the security for the vault, leaving parts of the bank in ruins.

 

 

It is only to be expected that there would be banks for wizards, just as there are for Muggles. As magic makes it possible to pass through nominally locked doors, it is also to be expected that security measures at Wizarding banks would be more stringent, and more Wizard-specific, than at Muggle banks; no Muggle bank could stand attack by a single reasonably-determined wizard. Thus the vaults are deep underground, protected presumably by anti-[[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Apparition|Apparition]] spells, and concealed by the use of the Goblin-specific carts and confusing routes.

Initially, the use of dragons to guard the high security vaults is only a rumor. It is possible that the author included that as no more than a way to introduce Hagrid's love of dangerous creatures in general, and dragons in particular, and as a way to establish background for the introduction of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Philosopher's Stone/Chapter 14|Norbert the Norwegian Ridgeback]].
