A bank seems like one of the worst businesses to operate as a money laundering front. They are subject to a lot of disclosures and reviews other companies aren't.

  That's what I figured too. There's just too much potential disclosure and so on. Rando store would seem to be the best option.

There are also many banks that specialize in lending and borrowing in really large quantities. One of those can keep an store open with no visible movement but still highly profitable.
