The Harry Potter Gringotts Bank is the only known bank of the wizarding world and it is operated primarily by goblins.
A snowy white building, near the intersection of Knockturn Alley and Diagon Alley, Gringotts towers over all neighbouring shops.
Customers pass through a set of bronze doors and then silver ones before entering the lobby.
The main floor is paved with marble and has long counters stretching along its length. Within, wizards and witches keep their money and other valuables in vaults that are protected by very complex and very strong security measures.
Harry Potter Gringotts Vault and Goblins
The vaults extend for miles under London and are accessible through rough stone passageways and then by means of magic carts that travel speedily along their tracks.
Goblins are extremely greedy and will protect their money and valuables at any cost, which is the reason why they are ideal guardians for the valuables of the wizarding world.
In addition, according to Hagrid, apart from Hogwarts, Gringotts is considered “the safest place in the world for anything you want to keep safe”.
