Because of ancient COBOL code from the 3 major banks that nearly all transactions pass through at some point. Oh and they can’t rewrite them because money “CaNt FiX WhAT isNT BrOKe”
By ancient, I hope you mean from like the 50s/60s when computers first started becoming a thing, and not like…the 90s. If the 90s is ancient, I’m just going to have to cry.

COBOL was developed in the late 50s
To be fair I absolutely do not trust modern programmers with anything close to that important.
Unless they’re using rust.
The code may be old but it isn’t necessarily slow.
