We had a good-sized national bank as a customer 10+ years ago, before things like mobile app-based banking were a thing, but web-based banking was certainly mainstream. They assigned every one of their retail account holders a userid. I do mean in the z/OS security system - not just in some banking application. I don't know (and couldn't say if I did) how many customers they had, but it was surely at least in the hundreds of thousands, and I think more likely in the millions. I remember some performance questions from time to time with *our* software, but nobody ever suggested that the security system couldn't handle that many userids or the rate of authentications.
