Written history begins with the Egyptians and that's about 4,000 years ago and there are no records of banks where a guy could come in and say "Hey, give me 100 bucks and I'll pay you back 140 bucks in 3 months."
It obviously occurred before the life of Jesus because he had a fit about the money lenders in the Temple.

I think the time frame is more like 2000-3000 BC with the ancient sumerians and babylonians. They actually have records of silver and produce being loaned with interest paid on it.
