If we are about to answer this question in which the aforementioned above are the only choices, I would say Renaissance Italy. It is said that the word "bank" came from the Italian for "bench" where the first primitive banks were composed of merchants sitting on such - benches.
Despite this, it is worth noting that the European Central Bank (EU) is taken from the banking model of present-day Germany due to its high efficiency. Hope this helps.

I thought it was the Knights Templar that started carrying bank notes, I'm not at all sure on this one.
