As I told someone in private: I dunno. Some banks are pretty stupid. Technically, if previous posts are to be believed, we are already doing bank transfers in clear text e-mail to AOL accounts (i.e. "over the Internet").

And some sales people pour really good Kool Aid about their encryption products.

But let's hope not. :)  And certainly not at any bank *I* use.  (Knowingly)
