I’d love to see some evidence because my guess is there is an order of magnitude more Java code in banks than COBOL.

Yeah, of course there is. The banks write a lot of code and it's wrapping the crucial COBOL core in various ways.
There's no reason at all to write those parts in COBOL. Banks use primarily Java and C# for that, and it's much easier in terms of recruitment.
