This article is in need of research. You can help out by editing this article or discussing your findings on the talk page. The editor who added this notice elaborates: How many "cash packets" does the Bank produce per round, and how exactly does Path 1 crosspathing affect the Bank (besides "makes more money")? |

All money generated by this farm is now stored in the bank and earns 15% interest each round. | ||

Monkey Bank, also known as Bank, is the Banana Farm's path 2 tier 3 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. Instead of producing bananas to collect, during rounds the Monkey Bank adds cash to an internal balance, which not directly available for use but can be withdrawn at any time. During a round, it generates equal-valued cash packets divided from its base income generation. After a round ends, the Monkey Bank increases its balance by 15% in interest. The Monkey Bank has a maximum balance of $7,000 ($9,500 with 
Bigger Banks), and when the Monkey Bank is full it will no longer produce any cash in any way until the balance is withdrawn.
The Monkey Bank's base income generation during the round is $180 per round, affected by its own Valuable Bananas upgrade and the 
More Valuable Bananas MK, which is increased further by Increased Production and Greater Production. The actual cash generation without More Valuable Bananas is, before end-of-round interest, a total of $225 per round (+$50 per Path 1 upgrade), increased to a total of $234 per round (+$52 per Path 1 upgrade) with it.
If crosspathed with EZ Collect, the Bank will visually glow when full, which reminds the player to collect its cash. If crosspathed with Banana Salvage, the Bank autocollects itself at the end of the round when full.

Cash production in Half Cash
In Half Cash, the Monkey Bank's cash production is halved as normal, but its interest is unchanged. Because the Monkey Bank's growth is non-linear, it produces more than half as much cash overall after the first round.

Strategy
Monkey Bank is a great farming option if allowed to build interest, and collected when at full or almost full capacity. Under those conditions, it earns much more money than similarly priced farms such as Marketplace and Banana Plantation. To be used optimally, players should keep an eye on their Monkey Banks' balances and remember to withdraw when it's time. The Monkey Bank with Greater Production is greatly improved by Bigger Banks and More Valuable Bananas. With those Monkey Knowledge upgrades, the 2-3-0 crosspath generates $9,465 per 11 rounds or about $860 per round on average, over double that of Marketplace.
However, Monkey Bank becomes a poor option if constantly collected too early (not building up much interest), or too late (wasting time while the balance is full). Another downside is that the cash it produces is locked in its balance until withdrawn, as opposed to other farms which let you use the cash right away; this can be a hindrance if the money is urgently needed. Synchronizing multiple Banks and their balances can be convenient, but is not cost-efficient when spamming Banks.
Greater Production is almost always preferred, as it lets the Monkey Bank generate more money. The Banana Salvage upgrade loses out on cash, but will make the Monkey Bank automatically withdraw its balance after it is full; this may be appealing to particularly hands-off players, while still generating more cash on average than a Marketplace.
