		dan-robertson on Nov 14, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Debit cards are hidden financial infrastructure I think this is a dialect difference. To me (and presumably the parent?) private bank means a bank that offers private banking services to wealthy clients which generally involves selling certain loans or investment products rather than a current account. Whereas I think the grandparent meant “bank not owned by the state”. But I’m not entirely sure

Yes. I meant private bank as in "not a government owned bank".
