Absolutely. It's a really good idea in many situations, and I'm working on it for our environment here. Our situation is not your situation, as we're not a financial institution, but we have something that's very dangerous on our network - software engineers. I'd think that the more controls and auditing on a financial network (within reason) the better. Deny access by default, allow access only with a proper business case and good auditing. I'm working on firewalling our dev/test teams away from our financial/HR/management/other subnets, and even each other, and vice versa. We'll probably end up using TS to give them access.
