Any large financial services company you're working with is already deploying sensitive apps on Node, for what it's worth.

That's not very comforting. Banks deploy nonsensical stuff all the time (like bad password policies).

Nothing about bank security should comfort you, but the clientside app that uses React Native should probably not be the thing keeping you up at night.

Right, but they’re probably mirroring dependencies locally, scanning them regularly, and have a process for adding new ones that isn’t “npm works on my desktop”.
