Gringotts 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. 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 strong security measures.
