Most of Latin America's banks have banking systems on OS/2, maybe this project can get some traction with the spanish speaking demographic

  The largest and oldest bank here in Brazil migrated all of its ATMs and branch manager desktops from OS/2 to Linux a decade ago; the other large banks I know of in Brazil seem to use Windows for desktops (and probably also their ATMs). I don't know about other countries, but it wouldn't surprise me if their banks have also migrated to something other than OS/2.

  I think that was true pretty much everywhere. I was at the help desk for an large Scandinavian bank doing the late 00ies and they were running virtual OS/2 instances on nearly every windows pc in order to support an custom app, and still had a few front desks(or whatever the window where the bank teller sits is called) with dedicated OS/2 hardware. The biggest problem here was sourcing dot matrix printers as the software used as the front desk software only worked with a few models of no longer in production printers. A few years after i left i heard rumors of an transformation project to get rid the legacy interfaces, part of which had been on going for a decade(as an old school java application) by the time i left for greener pasture, but i would not be surprised if that project it is still not complete yet, nor would i be to hear of retail banks that never bothered with any investment to replace OS/2 based apps.
