Money in the Bank is a novel by P. G. Wodehouse, first published in the United States on 9 January 1942 by Doubleday, Doran, New York, and in the United Kingdom on 27 May 1946 by Herbert Jenkins, London.[1] The UK publication was delayed while Wodehouse was under suspicion of collaboration during the Second World War.

The country house Shipley Hall, which features in this novel and Something Fishy (1957), was based on a real house, Fairlawne, where Wodehouse's daughter Leonora lived after she married in 1932.[2]
