Hello!
There are 2 prime words for "bank"
بنك : which is pronounced same as Bank , but in Arabic.
مصرف : the origin word which is mentioned in Arabic dictionaries.

Both words are widely used allover Arab world.
In some Arabic countries بنك is the keymain word . In other countries مصرف is the main keyword.

مصرف is not only means "bank" but it is also means an exchange store , were ppl go to exchange $ to Euro for example or to cash checks..

بنوك
Is this any good then?

or البنوك perhaps?

[ala101]

Thanks a lot jacksonm!
RD,
Both are the plural of بنك
so بنوك means Banks
البنوك means The Banks

البنوك is better than بنوك
البنوك has more ovt, SERPs, trends.

Thanks that is good news. The better one is a dot com in that case. Funny I think I picked that up much later!
