It's not like they have physical cash to guard these days. Most of these accounts and money is "just digits in a mainframe somewhere". Kind of similar to what happened with traditional vs ebook publishing - there are still some costs, but no longer shifting physical things from place too place should save the customer some costs.

That doesn't make maintaining it free, just cheaper. There's a lot of money out there looking for investments, driving up prices and hence driving down returns.

you are saying that like cybercrime was easier to fight than physical heists. That seems like a bad assumption? And I'm in no way a "banks" fan...
