what would be the implication wrt external banking services that use open source software? (echoes the cloud databases story...)

Are they distributing/selling the code? If the answer is no (and it pretty much always is) then there's no implications. Nothing in the GPL says you can't have a web front end to gather info that's then processed by your modified GPL code (which never leaves your possession) and the results spat back out to that web front-end.
