Google pays loads of people to conceive and write code that is malicious to endusers e.g. those not paying it for eyeballs.

Is Google going to hack your bank account?

If we start with the reasonable assumption that "being malicious" !== "hacking a bank account", then the answer to your question does not matter at all.

They're going to do everything they can to learn how much money you have in your account and then they'll relentlessly try to manipulate you into losing more of your money.

If you think you can trust Google because they are not interested in robbing your bank account, then you have fallen well for their deceptive campaigns. Google is just a next level robber that operates on corporate level.
