Morphology
The meaning 'an institution that collects funds and invests them' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'financial' (connected with money) with 'organization' (a collective with a purpose). This straightforward compositional noun–noun phrase follows common cross-linguistic patterns and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Financial organization comes from two simple ideas: financial meaning 'about money' and organization meaning 'a group working together'. Long ago, groups kept a town's money in a chest or safe and helped people borrow or save, so a financial organization today is an institution that collects and manages money for people.
