> nobody wants to be a vector for exfiltration of customer data

I have a hunch that the companies that are most obsessed with this are also those who routinely outsource to third-world boiler rooms and are clients of very competent & secure companies such as Okta.

The banks are under pretty tight regulation in this regard. I have no illusion that bank management cares about the customers’ concerns but they sure do care about the regulators!

My partner has no exposure to live bank data (not even her own — her team all get bank accounts so they can see what it looks like to be a customer) and she has said to me that she and her colleagues are glad they don’t have to worry about accidentally leaking anything. I guess there must be other teams that have to deal with that.

To my surprise nothing she is exposed to is outsourced overseas.
