bankable

Sure to profit

Bankable describes something reliable enough to guarantee success or secure financing.

A bankable movie star attracts investors because their name alone promises returns.

A bankable asset can be used as collateral.

More broadly, anything bankable is dependable: a bankable source, a bankable promise.

The word implies proven track record rather than mere potential.
