Gringotts vaults are buried deep below its main hall, accessed by taking bumpy, speedy cart rides through the rocky underground caverns.

Students must visit the bank as part of the storyline, and to receive their money, which they can then use to purchase items on their Shopping List from the shops in Diagon Alley.
