bank on it

It's absolutely certain

To bank on something is to count on it or rely on it confidently.

The phrase *bank on it* emphasizes certainty—you can trust this outcome as securely as money deposited in a bank: Will she show up? You can bank on it.

Often used to reassure or make a firm promise.
