Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'banking' (the business of handling money) with 'system' (a formalized set of procedures), yielding the organized set of banks and financial operations. This straightforward compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Banking system mixes banking (the work of banks) and system (connected parts); picture many banks as parts of one machine that move money around. So, banking system means 'all the banks in a country working together to handle money'.
