Hi! I'm going to suggest that certain NPCs, such as the standard Faction NPCs outside Faction areas, be given the option in conversation to Entrust Gold to them.
The gold would go into a bank inside the Faction territory, accessible only by PCs of that Faction under normal circumstances. A Faction PC would talk to whomever is their distributor of dialogue options for that area, and a new option would be there to show Entrusted Gold delivered by other PCs.
It might require checking the set of PCs listed as Faction PCs, opening a dialogue box with those options and a Back option, and then choosing the PC and giving the gold like you deposit in a bank.
Is this in any way useful, viable, or interesting to anyone?
This is not something I as a DM would want to see. Part of the danger of having a lot of gold is the chance to get it stolen. If your pc has access to a bank you can use it.

^ This.
*Suggestion: Maybe if it was a player faction in a lair that the gold could then be stolen from it'd still possess the risk factor, and the PC leader for that lair could then withdraw to purchase supplies at leisure. I think that'd be fine.
*Assessment: As it stands we only have one town (mostly) under player control 'for now' and the only bank we had was decimated. W&W probably? still have their treasurers because they can be relatively trusted to hold on to gold and remain deep in secure buildings with multiple armed guards and locked doors.
I assume there's nothing to stop you asking IG with DM controlled NPCs if they'll hold onto your gold for you? But can you trust them to give it back later?
