Csv is an ubiquitous data format. Especially when you're receiving data from external sources which you don't have control over, which often happens to be the case in banking and finance (streaming csv dumps are quite common)

CSV is stupid format. XML, JSON, YAML are better to read and easier to parse/validate. After compression these formats takes similar amount of space or even less when cross-referencing.
CSV, tab-delimited files and in general flat files are retarded idea to be used in banking. I know because I work for bank, these are source of all misery.
