Huh. I don't know about the financial system but I'm guessing a good chunk of it is ran by some old mainframes.

It's like the retail industry, still massively relying on IBM i/iSeries/AS400. I worked for a consulting company that was doing a little bit of admin and support work for companies still using this system and the list is still very long. At least it still receives updates, and it's kind of fun/odd to work with if you like CLI, but it's super expensive and absolutely proprietary.
