Won't argue you with you that they leave something to be desired. But, they will give a security tech who is knew to banking an idea of what banks consider important to their security. I Usually start off with the guidelines then move on to the NSA guidelines for the nitty gritty tech work. Also if you're new to the bank world, do some research on the different core processors currently utilized.

They're OK for "management and operational" type reviews, but they just don't cut it for technical work. I'd look to a more solid technical standard, like nsa.gov, nist.gov, or OSSTMM Ver. 2. Those are the things that I use for (almost exclusively) banks. We've developed custom testing programs using these as standards. c0d3r
You can find the answers to most of your questions including
guidelines
here http://www.ffiec.gov/ My employer uses the guidelines as the basis for all of our banking clients.
