Also, this feature is probably just some midd level execs plan for a bonus, not a rigorously reviewed and planned. It's also probably in the pipeline for a decade so if they don't push it out, suddenly they get no bonus for cancelling a project.
Corporations are ultimately no better than governments and likely worse depending on what their regulatory environment looks like.

There’s a really important thing here for anyone trying to do sales to big companies.
Find an exec that needs a project to advance their career. Make your software that project.
Suck in as many other execs into the project so their careers become coupled to getting your software rolled out.
Your mistake is assuming the company cares. The "company" is a hundred different disjointed departments that only care about not getting caught Equifax-style (or filing for bankruptcy if caught). If the marketing director sees a shiny new thing that might boost some random KPI they may not really care about security.
However in the rare chance that your bank is actually half decent, I'd suggest contacting their IT/Security teams about your concerns. Maybe you'll save some folks from getting scammed?
