    No. They're not claiming that they are a bank. In the English language, bank can also mean a lot of other things.

    There are loads of sites with bank at the end: letterbank, foodbank... look on Google.

    You can see their disclaimer at the footer ...

    ClickBank is not a chartered bank or trust company, or depository institution. ClickBank is not authorized to accept

    Bank in this case means a special storage place such as a blood bank;

    How can Google have GO in their name when they are not GO-ing? How can Bing have Bing when they are not BInging? Come on. It is just a name.

    One of my favorites banks is the heritage seed bank - nope no money involved, just genetic material saved for use in replanting the Earth after the world disaster of 2012....

    They are a click"bank" for the advertisers (They can pay to get clicks/sales). And for publishers as well, they are click"bank" (they can sell their traffic/clicks and get paid).

    It varies from country to country.

    In some countries, it's not permitted to use the word "bank" in a registered business name, trading name or corporate name of any kind without first satisfying the appropriate licensing body/regulator that you're duly licensed as a bank. Other countries have different ideas.
