banks / the banks

[Peterpant]

Hi, would you remove the article "the" in this sentence? "A lot of this money comes from (the) banks). Thanks

We need a little more context in order to be able to answer your question, peterpant. Either could be correct, depending on what you are trying to say.

The sentence is "Professional footballers can earn a lot of money if they generate it because a lot of this money comes from (the) banks" I hope it helps!

I would not add the article, since it is a general meaning.
When you are referring to something in general, you drop the article, as follows

Cats eat mice
