Unfortunately my bank, government, national health, surgery, local shops, food delivery services, etc. don't open source their code. It'd be nice if they did however.

There are FOSS core-banking systems (aka CBS) like Apache-Fineract

They wouldn't want you to know it all depends on a Frankensteined chunk of spaghetti'd COBOL that hasn't been updated since a guy they forgot about set it up before he retired in like 1996. And they're just betting that, if they don't look at it too hard, it won't oopsie a cascade of critical failures.

Funnily enough, the one you'd expect this from, the bank, I used to work for, it's all Go and running on k8s in aws.
