take it to the bank 

Figurative: "What was said is the absolute truth and can be verified by a third party source." Comes from an obscure reference to cheques (or checks, if you're American), in that such is a guarantee that you can take the document to the bank and redeem it for its face value.

Note the pronoun 'it' can be varied accordingly.
"Mount Everest is the tallest geographical point on this planet, and you can take that to the bank."

Putting up a K. AKA putting up 1000 dollars in the bank.
A K means Kilo which means 1000. "Kilometer, Kilobyte"

In baseball when a person is struck out, the pitcher will receive a 'K' in the score books. They will also put up the letter 'K' on a sign usually in the outfield.

If you strike out your bank account you have put up a K which means putting 1000 dollars in your account.

Safe with the bank 

When struggling to keep enough funds in your account and playing the float, knowing for a certain period of time (a day or more) that any check you have written will not bounce, and therefore having some peace of mind for that period of time.
I just deposited $100 into my account, so I am "safe with the bank" until Monday.

The check for the rent will not clear until Friday, the day I am getting paid, so until then, I am safe with the bank.
