Gringotts Wizarding Bank was located on the north side of Diagon Alley. It was the side closest to the Leaky Cauldron and, thus, closest to Charing Cross Road and Muggle London. The bank was located near Potage's Cauldron Shop, Flourish and Blotts, and Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour.
The bank was created by the goblin Gringott in 1474. The creation of Gringotts was considered to be linked to the 14th Century Wizarding Economic Bubble, which happened the century before. It was established not long after the Soap Blizzard of 1378, a volatile event which burst the economic bubble. The bank was put in the hands of the Ministry of M...

Bill Weasley worked as a Curse-Breaker for Gringotts ...
Gringotts had no known competition in the wizarding banking industry, and was almost surely a monopoly in Britain. Rubeus Hagrid said it was the only wizard bank, but it isn't clear if he meant in Britain, or in the wizarding world as a whole. It is known, however, that the bank at least had dealings in Egypt, where Bill Weasley worked as a Curse-B...
