What gave you the idea that retail banking is a low profit business? It really does not have to be depending on how it is run. ANYTHING can be low profit, even IBM, when it is run badly.

I used to work at Mellon bank in Pittsburgh. Mellon shut down their retail 
banking division to concentrate on the investment industry. Over 20 years ago. 
Retail banking is a low profit business. Challenger banking is a no profit 
business. Which is why they are failing.

They will be disappointed if they hear that, there are a fusion between 
Rijkspostspaarbank, NMB (Nederlansche Middenstandsbank, Postcheque en 
Girodienst, and Nationale Nederlanden. They are a very large bank in the 
Netherlands. And yes they are off the mainframe, running a lot of mainframe 
stuff on Micro Focus.

best regards,
