Por que é feminine?

Banques is feminine because it derives from Italian "banca" (a money-changer's bench or counter), which is itself feminine in Italian, and this gender was preserved when the word entered French in the 16th century. The ultimate origin is Germanic "bank" (bench), but the feminine gender was established through the Italian intermediary rather than following any systematic French rule.
