Banks were often built in a corporate style, for example this

example of what I remember as a Midland Bank Corporate building.

Obviously we would only use such tags if they are obviously a bank, or
had been a bank before the damaging mass closure of such important
amenities.

The presence of a bank doesn't make it a building=bank. 

One of the great things about mapping is that it encourages going out
and looking at things, learning and piecing things together.
