Morphology
nondepository + financial + institution
The phrase is compositionally built from a negative prefix + depository plus the nouns 'financial' and 'institution', so its meaning ('a financial institution that does not accept deposits') is directly inferable from the constituents. This negation+noun pattern is a regular morphological process and is cross-linguistically common, so a learner who knows the parts should grasp the MWE.
Etymology
Nondepository financial institution is a name for a money company that does not take customer 'deposits'. The part nondepository literally means 'no deposits' and financial institution means a company that handles money, and these firms get funds by selling insurance or investment products, so the term means a financial company that 'does not accept deposits'.
