It took forever to get Square or Stripe outside of the U.S., and they don't even store your money for long. I think you far underestimate difficulty of "scaling" banks across jurisdictional borders.
Most multi-national banks have a hard time with 'world-wide' scale and prefer to cordon off geo-markets behind local corps, going so far as to have separate C-level management. Imagine how hard it is to get financial level integration?
In this day and age those layers, that lack of true inner-corp transparency, and integration is what will kill these 'traditional' enterprises.
