A lot of places on this planet don't have stable banking infrastructure and there are millions of people who need such a system. We haven't even began to properly start a non-earth based, let alone banks.
Credit Union of Mars and Red Planet Financial will be the first banks on Mars until eventually edged out by BB's in the recession of 2219.
Love me some CUM
There will be banks wherever there’s a need for them. When we become an interplanetary civilisation (unless we blow ourselves up before then), pretty sure banks will pop up. Right next to the Starbucks.
The amount of land speculation that will be going on every time we hit a new planet will be insane.

This is the most interesting to me. Natural resource companies will need a shit ton of new capital to mine asteroids combined with an entire supply chain ecosystem just to get those minerals back to Earth/space stations. It's a project financing puzzle x 10000, as there are way more variables and your time horizon is even longer since you have to travel through space and you have to be able to structure a financial product that meets those cash flows. Still a long time till we get there though.

I am fairly certain Mars will be judenraus
