Not everywhere.
Some places take security seriously. Banks do not fuck around on this front.
Some places security is where they shove all the diversity hires. It's not an afterthought it's a dark corner no one cares about.
Other places have security as theater. I know of quite a few companies who have security tools implemented just to have someone to blame when the fuck up happens. XXX was our provider, were sorry sue them, were going to!
The reality is that the decision makers heard what they should do, and made a choice, not understanding the risk. In that regard some of them are getting better (see theater), and making it worse.

There is quite a bit of decent code near the core moving money portions, but once you start getting into the webapp side of things it quickly devolves into "Please do the basic minimum to ensure security of this application".
