Pergunta sobre Inglês (Reino Unido)

Does "He is a bank" meaning anything?

I was listening to the interview and a guy started his answer with the words: "No, he is a bank". From following sentences I've got what he wanted to answer to a reporter, but "he's a bank" remains a bit of a mystery to me.

Or maybe I'm a bit deaf and he said something else, I've made a YouTube clip in case you want to listen to it yourself: https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxIVy0dkWIAWDZuSgDmt...

Yes …. He is a bank means he is definitely going to be part of the plan. It’s being used in a shorthand way (and the guy has a foreign accent so it’s a bit difficult to hear)

A common expression is

You can bank on that
=
That will definitely happen

Messi is such a good player you could bank on him scoring a goal in every game

You’re not going deaf😀

@paul_b Wow, thank you so much! Yesterday I made the same question for American English section and nobody could figure it out, so I started to think that he had misspoke and this doesn't mean anything.
Again thank you a lot :)
