You're making assumptions about the op's situation. Their description could easily match one of my first summer jobs - also at a bank. On a typical day I would walk in around 9:30, ask my supervisor if there is anything to do, usually the answer was no, back to my desk and sit around, leave around 3:30. Computers were completely locked down, I did not even have Internet access. And yes, it was completely miserable. I read a lot of e-books that summer.
