I'd love to see what TSB's tech stack looks like now. I've worked on data migration projects with financial institutions in the past and the mountains of technical debt are truly terrifying. If TSB have gone through all of this pain and emerged at the other end as a truly modern bank without all the historical cruft I'd be seriously tempted to move over to them.
Don't get me wrong - I'm firmly in the "don't fix it if it ain't broke" camp and have no problem at all with 40-year-old COBOL code handling my transactions. But in my experience plenty of this code is broke and the amount of manual intervention to make things work would have a lot of people keeping their money under their mattress if they saw it first hand.
Food for thought.
