1. Banks as Depositories: Banks are financial institutions that are primarily engaged in the business of accepting deposits from individuals and businesses, and then using those deposits to extend credit to other borrowers in the form of loans, mortgages, or other forms of credit. As depositories, banks play a critical role in the financial system by safely and securely storing and managing large amounts of deposited funds on behalf of their depositors. This not only provides depositors with a high degree of confidence and security in knowing that their deposited funds are safely and securely stored and managed by a reputable and trustworthy financial institution like a bank, but it also enables banks to use those deposited funds to extend credit to other borrowers in the form of loans, mortgages, or other forms of credit, which in turn helps to stimulate economic growth and development by making credit more widely available to businesses and individuals who need it to finance their operations, expand their businesses, or invest in their futures.

[{"term"=>"Depositories in Literature", "description"=>"Depositories have played significant roles in literature, particularly in works that deal with themes of wealth, power, and the human condition. For example, in F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby, the character of Dan Cody is described as a 'rich and famous man', whose vast wealth is stored in his 'vaults' or 'depositories'. The character of Jay Gatsby himself is a man who has made his fortune through illegal means, and who uses his wealth to try and win back the love of Daisy Buchanan, the woman he loves. The depositories in The Great Gatsby thus serve as symbols of the characters' wealth, power, and desires, as well as their moral decay and their ultimate inability to achieve true happiness and fulfillment."}]
