Why is it masculine?

Bancos is masculine because it derives from the Latin "bancus" (a bench or counter), which was a masculine noun in Latin, and Spanish inherited its grammatical gender through regular sound changes. The word originally referred to the benches where money changers and merchants conducted business, and this masculine gender was preserved as the word evolved to mean "bank" in modern Spanish.
