     Think of banking as a money exchange and transfer service then.  The 
primary idea is to allow people to convert to a higher denomination for 
a fee.  I also thought of the idea of selling  promisary notes, since I 
am not sure if player can carry around stuff like 500000 diamonds or the 
equilivant.  In this case you could buy a guild or a castle (still on 
the back burners) for an obcene amount only by using the bank (We'll 
happily provide a note for a mere 11% surcharge today sir...)  Not quite 
credit cards but very appropriate banking functions for the time period 
we are portraying (ok they didn't have dragons, but the Romans had 
slotmachines I think...).
