For me, I don't care. As long as it's working & functional, 99% uptime and available and of course secured, then that would be great! It's worth my bucks! Customers have different perspective on each, may it be closed-source/proprietary or open-source. Previously when I'm in college, whenever I say its closed/proprietary, its secured and my money is worth taking it. But time has changed. Both worlds have enough insecurities & vulnerabilities. So its only a matter of time.
Again, it will be based on their assessment.. But in my opinion, I still consider the Total-Cost of Ownership as my basis. Regards, Michael F. Mondragon CoreByte Services - Better Choice. Better IT.

I actually don't care about that - I need to know what they do with my money because that's their job, so the question should better be addressed to the bank themselves. I'm pretty sure the average depositor would care less. But I'm pretty sure you already know that.
