See various hits, e.g. "16行" LIBOR
or example of use of 三行 here:
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/勘定系システム
  Comments:
Add [ctr] to bank sense – saw used in article on LIBOR, discussing use by 16 banks (and drop 4 banks on top and bottom when computing the average, etc.).

* * *

(BTW, my previous proposed addition of “trading” etc. should actually have referred to the 6th definition in my 広辞苑, whose first half is “guild”, and whose second half reads:
また、問屋・仲介業者あるいは単に商店を指す。
As per Rene’s comment, this seem more likely to simply be destination, probably 行き(いき/ゆき) w/o the okurigana. Thanks!)
