Gringotts was founded in 1474, which raises the question of where wizards and witches stored their wealth before the bank was founded.

Is there a mention of this somewhere within the lore?

I'm imagining Scrooge McDuck's vault for some reason.

Perhaps there just isn't a high demand for banking services in the HP world? Even in the modern day, Gringotts doesn't even offer cheque books
