Just wait until you find out what technology actual banks use!
COBOL, Fortran, mainframes, and other 70s-era tech are much more trustworthy than new-fangled VC landgrabs like MongoDB. As long as the banks haven't transitioned everything to Cassandra or whatever, I don't think we'll have an issue there.
