It's hard to really make a judgement one way or the other without knowing the technical and organisational reasons in the first place.

Maybe their iOS dev left a few months ago and there are large changes needed they haven't been able to pull off in time? Maybe there's a very specific issue/bug they're having trouble to work around? Maybe they actually did make an update but it got rejected in the (in)famous "Apple approval process"? Something else? Who knows...

Whether or not a company can get apps updated in a reasonable window - or whether a bank having “an iOS dev” is reasonable, or not, it is simply unforgivable to suggest that people turn off operating system upgrades.

The reasons are interesting on a human level, but on a professional basis they should have had a plan months ago.

Maybe the did have a plan but something went wrong at the last minute; or maybe not and they just messed up. We don't really know that.
