I hope it doesn't go down the tubes. One doesn't want every transaction tracked. I don't want Mrs Z to see how much I spent on her birthday present by looking a the bank account or credit card bill for example.
As a rule I keep a couple of grand at home in the safe. Just enough for emergency use if the banking system gets interrupted.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's not a security update. We have had a lot of concerted denial of service attacks recently and a real spate of emails trying to attack our systems.
Most get filtered but some really clever ones attack a known client's email and send doctored attachments - like a set of accounts with a hidden payload.
We still have people trying to attach devices to our computers in business centres. For example, when going to get coffees for a visiting new customer, hidden CCTV showed the new customer attach a very small pen drive to the locked laptop left in the room by the new business manager. The thing was just the size of the USB slot with nothing sticking out!
Like this but without the black bit...
