Banking system is where money lives.

Value lives outside, but the money represented by the value lives on accounts, in databases.

Even cash is just something tracked by central banks as liability (negative account value - because when someone deposits cash they increase one account, and if the bank then deposits that electronic money at the central bank the total money supply must not change, hence cash is tracked separately).
