While dealing with container and inventory items, many developers use a bag/slot couple and set bag to -1 for the case of an inventory item. But a problem occurs when the bank is opened (after BANKFRAME_OPENED event being fired) because the 28 slots of the bank count as actual container slots with -1 as bagID. In the same idea, items in the bank bags can be accessed via container item functions (like [[API GetContainerItemLink|GetContainerItemLink(bagID, slotID)]], [[API PickupContainerItem|PickupContainerItem(bagID, slotID)]]) with 5 as bagID for the first bank bag, 6 for the second ... until 11 for the seventh.

This follows the way [[FrameXML]] works. Future changes to APIs are less likely to make your addon break if you follow it. Many of these globals are defined in FrameXML\Constants.lua, if you're curious.
