I suspect that the level and sophistication of attacks on the banking sector is far lower than equivalent attacks for data/accounts.
In general, if you break into someones bank account and transfer money out, that money can be traced by authorities. In almost all cases, that money is recoverable by the government, even if individual banks like to shrug and tell the customer it isn't recoverable.
If you break into someone's email and steal their private info, it can't be traced. That makes the latter much more attractive.
