What is the name of the wizarding bank in Harry Potter?

The wizarding bank in Harry Potter is Gringotts, formally called Gringotts Wizarding Bank. It stands in Diagon Alley and is operated by goblins, who manage accounts, vaults, and the bank’s complex security systems.

Harry first visits Gringotts with Hagrid before starting at Hogwarts. There he discovers that his parents left him a substantial inheritance and withdraws money in wizarding currency. The bank uses gold Galleons, silver Sickles, and bronze Knuts rather than pounds or other Muggle money.

Gringotts is considered one of the safest places in the wizarding world, although the series repeatedly shows that its security is not perfect. The vaults lie deep underground and can be reached by mine-cart tracks. In the first book, Hagrid collects the Philosopher’s Stone from vault 713, beginning the chain of events that leads to its protection at Hogwarts.

Diagon Alley is the shopping district where Gringotts is located, not the bank itself. The Leaky Cauldron is a pub and entrance to Diagon Alley, while Knockturn Alley is a nearby district associated with dark magic.
