SQLite is a (maybe unexpectedly) powerful database. I would not be surprised at all if it’s used for financial data in at least some capacity.

I’m also not sure every “proper” database has application layer checksums, as that seems like a lower layer concern costing performance and possibly providing a false sense of security (it can’t help with durability at all, for example).
