Even 15, 16, 31, or 32 (all of which I've seen before) would make more sense. 12 is "odd".

I haven't tried to see if they've updated their requirements to be more secure, but Wells Fargo is 14 characters.

Unless they are trying to pack multiples of 2 at a row level. It's 12 so the can squeeze a char(2) somewhere else.
