Speaking of money in the bank, FYI we have {qav'ap} from Monopoly which seems to mean "amount/sum of money":

voHDajbo' qav'ap 
mortgage value MKE

HoSHal ghajchugh vay', mI' naghmey tIronmoH. wa'maHlogh boq'egh mI' naghmey; chen qav'ap. ghajwI'vaD qav'ap yIDIl. 
If [energy source is] owned, throw dice and pay owner a total ten times amount shown. MKE

pIraqSIS HoS waw' ghajlu'chugh, loSlogh boq'egh mI' naghmey mI'; chen qav'ap 
If Praxis Energy Facility is owned, rent is 4 times amount shown on dice. MKE

Duj ghajchugh vay', cha'logh boq'egh qav'ap motlh; chen qav'ap le'. ghajwI'vaD qav'ap le' yIDIl. 
If [ship is] owned, pay owner twice the rental to which they are otherwise entitled. MKE

And while we're on the subject of banks and money, there's another new verb {wel} "owe":

voHDajbo' wellu' 200 
Mortgaged for 200. MKE

yervamvaD voHDajbo' wellu'chugh, 'echletHom Dopvam yIcha' 
Card must be turned this side up if property is mortgaged. MKE

BTW notice the use of {voHDajbo'} "ransom" for "mortgage". <g>
